    Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

  • Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

    Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017

  • I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

    Adam Alexander, Indy 2005

  • Downforce is the enemy of racing.

    Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016

    Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013

  • I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

  • It's just great, pure racing.

    Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

    Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

    David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

  • I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

    Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007

  • She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007

    Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

  • If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

    PJ Chesson

  • 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.

    Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

  • 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

  • It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

    Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014

  • Not bad for a part timer ;o)

    Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

  • What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

    Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016

  • ...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.
