• 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

  • Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

    Tony Stewart, May 2007

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

  • James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

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

  • 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.

    Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019

  • With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

    Helio Castroneves, June 2009

  • 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.

    Danica Patrick, June 2005
