Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.
Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021
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
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
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.

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!
Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014
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

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
