I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Dan Wheldon

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

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

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Will Power on losing to Dario Franchitti, Homestead, 2010

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

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

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

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.

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.

Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

He's grounded.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008

All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.

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

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

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

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014
