    Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

  • You don't pay me to run second.

  • I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!

    Colton Herta on the final restart, Road America, June 12th 2022

    Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

  • 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

  • You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

    Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022

  • He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

    Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

  • Heeeeeee's on it!

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

    Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
