James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
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
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

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

Heeeeeee's on it!

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
...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
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

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.

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

I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
