    Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020

  • Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

    James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013

  • Beautiful chaos!

    David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

  • The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.

  • It's just great, pure racing.

    Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
