The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

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.

Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.
