Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019

James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 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.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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.

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

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.

We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.
Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
