It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

John Andretti, Indy 2010

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

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

My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

Alex Tagliani, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

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.
