Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

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!

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.
Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Second place is nothing.

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

Tom Carnegie
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
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
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
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.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
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
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
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.
Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.
