I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
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. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

Al Unser Jr.
That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
