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
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.
James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

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

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

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.
Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
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.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!
James Hinchcliffe on getting through the gap that took him from 17th to 6th at Mid Ohio, August 2014
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

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'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
