The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

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

AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
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.

Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
You need to learn how to f***ing count.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

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

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.
Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008
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.

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
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

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!
