Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
Heeeeeee's on it!

If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.
Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
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
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.
