Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

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
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

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

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021
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
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

We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
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
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 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
We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.
