I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013

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

Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

John Andretti, Indy 2010

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Tony Kanaan, May 2007

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

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.

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

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

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

John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

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.

PJ Chesson on Mothers Day

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.

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

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

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007

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

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

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

I drove the best race of my whole career!

It's a living, breathing, organism.

Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway

I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

It's a new... track... record!

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

You don't pay me to run second.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

The wall came too close and too quickly.

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019
