It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007

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

I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

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

I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

I drove it like I stole it!

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

Colton Herta watching a replay of his pass on Rossi, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 3rd October 2020

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018

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

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

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

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

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 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

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

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

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

My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.

PJ Chesson on Mothers Day

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

Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

It's great that it's one minute after six!

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.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

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

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

Eddie Cheever Jr.

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
