Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
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.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

It's great that it's one minute after six!

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
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
The race that made the IRL famous!

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
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
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.

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

You've only seen me smile here.
