Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
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.

Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
