I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
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
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

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

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.
