Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

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

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Al Unser Jr.

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

When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

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

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

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007

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

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

Heeeeeee's on it!

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

Colton Herta watching a replay of his pass on Rossi, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 3rd October 2020

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.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017

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

Helio Castroneves

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

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

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

To finish first you must first finish.

Rick Mears

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Tom Carnegie

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

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

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

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
