That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 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
Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...
Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019
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
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!
Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014
We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.
Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

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

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.
Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
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
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

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

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
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
You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021
You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.
Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.
Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
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 we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

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
Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
