When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

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 race that made the IRL famous!

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.
Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 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
Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
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
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

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

Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
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.

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Roger Penske, Indy 2006
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
