I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.

You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.

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
I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.
Jean Alesi, Bump Day, Indy 2012
Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
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
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.
Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com

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

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
