Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
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
...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
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
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.

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

That's a good way to lose a championship.

I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
Gentlemen, start your engines.

We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

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

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
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
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 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 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
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
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 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.
