From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

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

John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003

I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008

She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

You don't pay me to run second.

We're all back to square zero!

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

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

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.

Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009

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

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

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

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

We are unified.

Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

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

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

Eddie Cheever

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

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