Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
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
Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
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.
Al Unser Jr.
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
Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.
Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
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
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.
Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
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.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.
James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!
Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014
A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
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!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
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
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
Good news is we've won every race we've finished!
James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
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
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
I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
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
It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
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.
Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500
I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
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
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.
James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.
Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.
Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.
Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
