Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

It's great that it's one minute after six!

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

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

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.
Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
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.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

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
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
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

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
