I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

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

Tom Carnegie

The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

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

Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.

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

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

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

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

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

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013

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

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500

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'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017

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

Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
