Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.

Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com

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

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

I drove it like I stole it!

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006

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

I am stupid.

Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

You've only seen me smile here.

Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Tom Sneva

Beautiful chaos!

David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street

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

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

Danica Patrick, June 2005

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter

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.

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

It's a living, breathing, organism.
