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

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016
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
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
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.
Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.
Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500
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!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
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

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

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

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.
