It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR
Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013

Tom Carnegie
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

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

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.
Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019
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.
Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

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.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
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
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
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.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
