To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

It's just great, pure racing.

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
