You need to learn how to f***ing count.

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
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 need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
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.

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

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
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
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
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
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

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 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

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006
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

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 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.
