Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
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.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

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.

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
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.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
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.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
