If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.
