Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

I WILL win at Kentucky.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017

It's a living, breathing, organism.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.

Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

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

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