Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
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
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
I am a connoisseur of information!

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
You've only seen me smile here.

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

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.

I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
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.
Al Unser Jr.
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Beautiful chaos!

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
