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
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

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

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
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
To finish first you must first finish.

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

I've never been so happy to be in last place.

I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
You won't believe it!

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 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
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
