It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

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.

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

It's just great, pure racing.

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

I drove it like I stole it!

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
