It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

I am stupid.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

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
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.
Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

You've only seen me smile here.

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
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
