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 wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
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.

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 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
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

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

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
