We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
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
It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
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
Let's wait and watch.
Tom Carnegie
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
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
I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
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
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!
James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023
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.

Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!
Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.
Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
Second place is nothing.

I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
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
Good news is we've won every race we've finished!
James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

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.
