This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018

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

Tony Stewart, May 2007

Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006

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

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

Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Wilbur Shaw

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

John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500

The race that made the IRL famous!

Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

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

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Marco Andretti, July 2006

I've never been so happy to be in last place.

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

That was for the team.

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

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

Colton Herta watching a replay of his pass on Rossi, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 3rd October 2020

Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

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

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

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Al Unser Jr.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Chip Ganassi

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

Second place is nothing.

Marco Andretti, Indy 2006

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Tom Carnegie

When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007

I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022

Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015
