John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
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.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

Gentlemen, start your engines.

...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
