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

I really wish I'd gone to college and got a proper job!

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.
Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022

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.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.

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
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
That was for the team.

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

Chip Ganassi
I am stupid.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
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
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
