Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

The wall came too close and too quickly.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
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
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.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015

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

I need a nap now.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
