Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Al Unser Jr.

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

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.

Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

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

I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!
