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

Let's wait and watch.

Tom Carnegie

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 just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

We are unified.

Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.

Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500

Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.

Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013

My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007

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

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

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

We're all back to square zero!

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

Ed Carpenter, July 2006

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

Tom Carnegie

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

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

Tony Stewart, May 2007

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

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

Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

It's just great, pure racing.

Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

Beautiful chaos!

David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

A happy wife is a happy life!

Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021

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

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Eddie Cheever Jr.

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

Josef Newgarden on The Indy 500, June 2023, via Twitter

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

Paul Page, Michigan '99

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

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Tom Carnegie

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

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.

John Andretti, Indy 2010

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses

I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018

That's a good way to lose a championship.
