Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
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
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.

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!
Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
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
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017
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.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

I think it's is a long putt, so I think we're safe for a while.

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 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.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.
Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
