Tom Carnegie
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
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
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
