Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

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!

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
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.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

Marty Reid, Las Vegas, October 16th 2011
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

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