I'm a moving chicane out here!
Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014
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.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.
Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
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
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
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
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
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
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.
Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
