I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.

I am a connoisseur of information!

Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.
Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
It's great that it's one minute after six!

The wall came too close and too quickly.

Second place is nothing.

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

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

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.

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
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.
Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
I need a nap now.
