I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Eyes on the starter...

Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

A happy wife is a happy life!

Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
I didn't leave. I was terminated.
Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."
Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
