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.

I drove the best race of my whole career!
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
Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.
Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.
Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013
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
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
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
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

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

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

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

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
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.

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
