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.

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.
Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
