Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

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

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
Gentlemen... restart your engines!

Gentlemen, start your engines.

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Dan Wheldon
I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

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
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
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

The race that made the IRL famous!

Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
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
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
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.

I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

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
To finish first you must first finish.

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 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
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
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
Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

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.
