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.

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

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

Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers.

Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

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