It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019

Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
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
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway
This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Scott Dixon on Alex Palou's contract dispute, Toronto, July 15th 2022

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

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

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
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
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.

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

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.

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
