I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
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.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

I am a connoisseur of information!

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.
Conor Daly on Bison, IndyCar.com March 23rd 2021
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
