  • You won't believe it!

    Tom Carnegie

  • Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

    Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway

  • Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

    Helio Castroneves

  • 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

  • Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

    Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street

  • Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

    James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013

  • We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
