That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

Tom Sneva

I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.

Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019

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

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

It's just great, pure racing.

Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

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

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

There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023

I am stupid.

Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020

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

That was for the team.

Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015

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

Dan Wheldon

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.

Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

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

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011

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

Tomas Scheckter showing his class on Twitter, April 6th 2011

I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Dan Wheldon

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500

I WILL win at Kentucky.

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

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

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 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

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

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

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

John Andretti, Indy 2010

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

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
