Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

I think it's is a long putt, so I think we're safe for a while.

Helio Castroneves after winning the Indy 500, May 2009
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

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!

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

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
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
He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009
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.

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

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500
Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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
Heeeeeee's on it!
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
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
