Juan Pablo Montoya on his motivation, NBCSports.com, July 12th 2016

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
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!
