    Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

    Tony Kanaan, May 2007

  • Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

    Tom Carnegie

    Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015

    Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500

  • The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

    Tony Stewart, May 2007

  • Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

    Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

  • That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

    Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

  • 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.

  • It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.

    Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

    Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007

  • Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

    Chip Ganassi

  • With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

    Helio Castroneves, June 2009

    Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013

  • And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.

    Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter

  • Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

    Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018

  • I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

    Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

    Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005

    Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015
