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
Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
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.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
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
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.
Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
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.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
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 need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
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
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
...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
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016
NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
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
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
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!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
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.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008
It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967
Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.
Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
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
You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.
Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
