Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
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
To finish first you must first finish.

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

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

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
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
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
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
I'm a moving chicane out here!
