The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
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.

Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

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.

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!

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