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
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
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
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
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?

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

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

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

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

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.

I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
