You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
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
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
I still have the passion to drive the hell out of it!

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022
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.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

It's great that it's one minute after six!

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.
Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
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!

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

It's a new... track... record!

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

A happy wife is a happy life!

Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

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

I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
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.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007
...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.

I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.

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.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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.
