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

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
You don't pay me to run second.

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
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
And in 7 hours off to NYC!! Can't believe. Don't want to sleep thinking I'm gonna wake up from a dream.
Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

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.

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
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
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
