Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

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.
Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
That's a good way to lose a championship.

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.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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.
