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
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
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.
Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.
Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
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
Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
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
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...
Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
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
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
Graham Rahal on the carnage at Toronto, July 2011
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
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
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
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 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
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
