Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

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

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
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

I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
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
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
