Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.
Josef Newgarden on The Indy 500, June 2023, via Twitter
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

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.

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.
Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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.

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.
