The wall came too close and too quickly.

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

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
Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
That was for the team.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013
Eyes on the starter...

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
Second place is nothing.

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
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. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

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

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016

Danica Patrick, June 2005
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

I am a connoisseur of information!

Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
