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!

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

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009

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

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

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

Chip Ganassi

I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000

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

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

...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

It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011

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'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

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

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

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

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

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

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
