I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
That was for the team.

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.
Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

The wall came too close and too quickly.

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.
