Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

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

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.

That was for the team.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
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
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.

...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.

I need a nap now.

Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.

Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

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