Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022
Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.
Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com
Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.
Tomas Scheckter showing his class on Twitter, April 6th 2011
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.
Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, Milwaukee 2007
I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016
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
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!
James Hinchcliffe on getting through the gap that took him from 17th to 6th at Mid Ohio, August 2014
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.
Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.
Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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
So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!
Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.

It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019
I am a connoisseur of information!

I drove it like I stole it!

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
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
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
