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

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

John Andretti, Indy 2010

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007

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

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967

The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Billy Boat

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

Chip Ganassi

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Marco Andretti, July 2006

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018

James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

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

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

Tomas Scheckter showing his class on Twitter, April 6th 2011

You don't pay me to run second.

Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.

Sarah Fisher, August 2006

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

Second place is nothing.

Marco Andretti, Indy 2006

I drove it like I stole it!

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006

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

Tom Carnegie

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

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

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023

You've only seen me smile here.

Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020

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 was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.

Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter

We're all back to square zero!

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

It's great that it's one minute after six!

Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 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.

Tony Stewart, May 2007

I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009

When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!

Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.

Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 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

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?

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

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

Jimmie Johnson on his first oval test at Texas Motor Speedway, via Twitter, August 30th 2020

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

Simon Pagenaud on equipment issues, St Petersburg, March 11th 2018

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

Helio Castroneves

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.

Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway

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

Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!

A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
