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
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.
Sarah Fisher, August 2006
It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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
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
I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.
Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
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
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.
Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
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.

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018
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
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.
Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
