If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
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
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

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

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.
