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

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

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.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 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
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

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.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
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 he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

I drove it like I stole it!
