I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

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.

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

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
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
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

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

Time to go to the back row party!

Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

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!

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
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
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it
Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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.

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
