Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

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
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.

We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 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.

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

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
Gentlemen, start your engines.
Wilbur Shaw

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

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022
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!

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
