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

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

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

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!

Second place is nothing.
