It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

It's just great, pure racing.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

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

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.
James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016
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
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

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

"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."
Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
...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.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

Let's wait and watch.

If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
To finish first you must first finish.

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

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.

That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
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
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

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

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.
Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.
Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter

I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
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
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

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

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
I drove it like I stole it!
