The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
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
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Gentlemen, start your engines.

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

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!
James Hinchcliffe on getting through the gap that took him from 17th to 6th at Mid Ohio, August 2014
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
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.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.
Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018
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
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.

Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
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.
