I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018

You've only seen me smile here.

Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

Dan Wheldon

...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

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

Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500

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

Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

A happy wife is a happy life!

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

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

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

Adam Alexander, Indy 2005

She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021

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

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

The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.

Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

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

My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500

Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007

Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017

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

The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.

Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007

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

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

A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

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.

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

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

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

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

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009

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

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008

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

It's just great, pure racing.

Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

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

It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

Josef Newgarden on The Indy 500, June 2023, via Twitter

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

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

Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
