Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

I'm a moving chicane out here!
Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

To finish first you must first finish.

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

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
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

Gentlemen, start your engines.
Wilbur Shaw
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
