We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
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
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
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.
Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
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
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
The wall came too close and too quickly.

Roger Penske, Indy 2006
I am a connoisseur of information!

You've only seen me smile here.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

PJ Chesson
It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
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
This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.
Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.
James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
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 was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
