Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

I need a nap now.

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

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
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
I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.
Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

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

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
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
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
The wall came too close and too quickly.

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
