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

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

It's just great, pure racing.

Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

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 prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018

I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

A happy wife is a happy life!

Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Al Unser Jr.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Wilbur Shaw

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

It's great that it's one minute after six!

The race that made the IRL famous!

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

Adam Alexander, Indy 2005

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

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

Helio Castroneves, June 2009

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

John Andretti, Indy 2010

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010

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

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Chip Ganassi

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

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
