Heeeeeee's on it!

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.

It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

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.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
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.

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

Will Power, Chicago 2010
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

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
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

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
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
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

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
I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
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
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!'
