With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
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
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
Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

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

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.
Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
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
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
I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.
Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
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
Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!
Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
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!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!
