Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.
Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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.

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

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

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Tony Stewart, May 2007
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
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
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

It's a living, breathing, organism.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
