I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

Eyes on the starter...

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!
Colton Herta on the final restart, Road America, June 12th 2022
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.

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Time to go to the back row party!

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
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.

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

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.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
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.
