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

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

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

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

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
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
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

Let's wait and watch.
Tom Carnegie
Good news is we've won every race we've finished!
James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 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.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
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
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.
