    Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009

  • 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.

    Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

    PJ Chesson on Mothers Day

  • This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

    Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

  • When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

  • I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.

    Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

  • I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
