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

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

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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

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

Eddie Cheever Jr.

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

Time to go to the back row party!

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

Danica Patrick, June 2005

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Wilbur Shaw

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

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Dan Wheldon

I am a connoisseur of information!

Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016

You won't believe it!

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018

Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

It's just great, pure racing.

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

Tony Stewart, May 2007

I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

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