F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
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.
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

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

The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

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.
