Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Eyes on the starter...

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

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

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.
Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013
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
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.

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

You don't pay me to run second.

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
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Dan Wheldon
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

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

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

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

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
