Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

Good news is we've won every race we've finished!

The wall came too close and too quickly.

If someone said choose one race to win, just one, and that was the only race you ever got to win, it would be the Indy 500.
Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!
Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.
Wade Cunningham on Sebastien Saavedra, Iowa 2009
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.
Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...
Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...
Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019
I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.

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

Heeeeeee's on it!
