They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Downforce is the enemy of racing.

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.
Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
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.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

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
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008
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 don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.
Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.
