And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.
Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
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
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.
Conor Daly on underglow. Via Twitter, July 16th 2020

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
