    Eddie Cheever Jr.

  • 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

  • That was for the team.

    Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005

    Tom Carnegie

  • 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.

    Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

    Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007

  • I drove it like I stole it!

    Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006

    Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500

  • If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

    Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
