Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

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
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

Roger Penske, Indy 2006
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.
Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

It's just great, pure racing.

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

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.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
