Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Eyes on the starter...

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.

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.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
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
I'm a little rough around the edges like him and I say what I feel, there's no B.S. and that's one of the things I've always admired about him.

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
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
Gentlemen, start your engines.
Wilbur Shaw
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

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

He's grounded.

Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.
