Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
You've only seen me smile here.
Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
...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 hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Second place is nothing.

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
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.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
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
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
