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

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Eddie Cheever Jr.

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

To finish first you must first finish.

Rick Mears

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

Tom Carnegie

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500

I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

Ed Carpenter, July 2006

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

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

Eyes on the starter...

Tom Carnegie

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023

A happy wife is a happy life!

Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008

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

Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

Adam Alexander, Indy 2005

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500

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.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

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 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

Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013

The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Billy Boat

Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

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.

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

Tomas Scheckter showing his class on Twitter, April 6th 2011

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009

All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.

Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com

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

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020

I am a connoisseur of information!

Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Tom Carnegie

When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

You don't pay me to run second.

Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

Heeeeeee's on it!

Tom Carnegie

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Marco Andretti, July 2006
