Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

The wall came too close and too quickly.

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
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
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 just so f***ing disappointed!

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

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.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
