    Chip Ganassi

  • She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!

    Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

    Eddie Cheever Jr.

  • The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.

    Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009

  • The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

    Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06

  • No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

    Paul Page, Michigan '99

  • It's a new... track... record!

    Tom Carnegie

  • My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

    Tony Kanaan, May 2007

    Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018

  • If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

    Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

  • The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

    Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

  • I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!
