We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.
Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
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
A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.
Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
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
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018
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
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
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
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
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
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
Back at the big house next weekend, kids.
Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
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
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.
Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
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
Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 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
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.
Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017
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
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
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
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
