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
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?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
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
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.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
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
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

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.

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

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.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
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
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
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

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
