It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!
Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

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

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

Roger Penske on the possibility of F1 returning to Long Beach, April 2014
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
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
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
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
You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
I was going good but then I slipped in my own drool.
Helio Castroneves on the return to road courses
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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

Justin Wilson on Brian Clauson's patchwork DW12, bump day, Indy 2012
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!
James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015
I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
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!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
...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
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big

I am stupid.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Downforce is the enemy of racing.

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
