Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

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

Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
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'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
We're all back to square zero!

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
Let's wait and watch.
Tom Carnegie
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 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.

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
