The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
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
Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

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.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.

I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

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

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006

Time to go to the back row party!
