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

Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
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
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
The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
You don't pay me to run second.

I've never been so happy to be in last place.

I WILL win at Kentucky.

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500
Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.
Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

The race that made the IRL famous!

Eyes on the starter...

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.
Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
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.
Al Unser Jr.
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Gentlemen, start your engines.
Wilbur Shaw
Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

You've only seen me smile here.
