I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
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
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

Beautiful chaos!

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
It's just great, pure racing.

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 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
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
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

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.

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

Time to go to the back row party!

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

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.

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
