It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017

Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

Eyes on the starter...

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

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
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
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

The wall came too close and too quickly.
