    A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

  • Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

    Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007

  • I WILL win at Kentucky.

    Will Power, Chicago 2010

    Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

  • The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

  • I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.

    James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018

  • ...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

    Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

  • That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!

    Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

  • Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

    Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013
