I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.
Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.
Sarah Fisher, August 2006
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
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.
James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
I'm a moving chicane out here!
Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014
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
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.
Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!
Colton Herta watching a replay of his pass on Rossi, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 3rd October 2020
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
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.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
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
It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.
James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
I love this championship and everything it represents. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be here. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
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!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
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
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
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!
Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
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.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
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
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
