It's great that it's one minute after six!

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
Not bad for a part timer ;o)

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."
Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.
Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I am stupid.

Kurt St. Angelo on the IndyCarFanZone fantasy league, Twitter, September 14th 2022
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
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
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.
Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
