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

Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.

Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
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.

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 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.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
