Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017

The race that made the IRL famous!

Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015

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

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

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

I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

Danica Patrick, June 2005

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013

Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007

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

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009

Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over

Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

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

Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

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.

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017

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

And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.

Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter

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

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

Marco Andretti, July 2006

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007

The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009

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

Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06

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

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

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

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

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

You've only seen me smile here.

Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

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

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

Tom Carnegie

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

Paul Page, Michigan '99

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

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Tom Sneva

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

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

Dan Wheldon

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

Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

Tony Stewart, May 2007

She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
