Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004

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.

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

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

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

I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

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

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
