I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
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.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
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.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
Back at the big house next weekend, kids.
Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.
James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."
Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
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.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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 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 can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016
I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.
Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I think it's is a long putt, so I think we're safe for a while.
Roger Penske on the possibility of F1 returning to Long Beach, April 2014
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
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
I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.
Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018
This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.
Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!
James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023
