...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

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

You've only seen me smile here.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Let's wait and watch.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004

"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

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!

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
