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

Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.
Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

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

Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

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
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.
Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

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
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.
Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.
Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.
Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.
Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021
NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

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
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
