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

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.

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

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.

Gentlemen, start your engines.
Wilbur Shaw
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
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.

The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
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.

Time to go to the back row party!

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
