This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
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
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
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.

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.

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

You don't pay me to run second.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

It's just great, pure racing.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
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
We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
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
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

Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
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.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
Good news is we've won every race we've finished!
