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.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.
Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021
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.

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

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
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

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

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.

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.

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
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
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
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
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!

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
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.
