Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
I drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
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.

That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
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.

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

To finish first you must first finish.

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
If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
