If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

I think it's is a long putt, so I think we're safe for a while.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
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
All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.
Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.
Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

It's a new... track... record!

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

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

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
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.
Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.
James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013
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
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

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 hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

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
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
