It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

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

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

It's just great, pure racing.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
