NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

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

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007

The wall came too close and too quickly.

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

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
