Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019
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.

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.
Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
