The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
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 this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
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
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011

Roger Penske, Indy 2006
As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
The wall came too close and too quickly.

Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
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

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
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
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
I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

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

A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.
Josef Newgarden on The Indy 500, June 2023, via Twitter
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

A happy wife is a happy life!

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
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.
