I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
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.

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
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
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
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
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
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
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
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.

It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
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
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
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.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
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
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
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
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967
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
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.
