I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

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

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

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.

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.
Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

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