Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
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
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
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
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.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.

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

James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
