Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
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.

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.
Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com

Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
...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
I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Eyes on the starter...

You've only seen me smile here.
Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021
It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...
Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

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
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
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
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
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
