F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon

Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat

It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers.

Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
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
