If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
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
Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

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

When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
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

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
You've only seen me smile here.
