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.

Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

I drove it like I stole it!

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

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
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

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

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.
Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
