It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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.

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.
Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018
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
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!
James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023
