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
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
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.

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
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

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...
