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

Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005

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

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

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

The race that made the IRL famous!

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

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

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007

We're all back to square zero!

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

Tony Kanaan, May 2007

That was for the team.

Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005

I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011

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

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

...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 was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Marco Andretti, July 2006

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

I WILL win at Kentucky.

Will Power, Chicago 2010

The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Billy Boat

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

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
