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

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

I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

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
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

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