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
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.

You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

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!

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.

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

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

He's grounded.
