You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
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.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

I need a nap now.

Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

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.

Colton Herta on the final restart, Road America, June 12th 2022
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
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
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.

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

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
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

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.

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.
Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
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
