This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.
Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 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.

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.

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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
I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 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.
