There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.

Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

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
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

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
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
