Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.
Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
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.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
Back at the big house next weekend, kids.
Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020
I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."
Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
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
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.
Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
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
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.
Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.
Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
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
When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.
Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
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.
Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR
Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
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
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...
Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.
Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
