The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

We are unified.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.
Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

The wall came too close and too quickly.

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

That's a good way to lose a championship.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

"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

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
