Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.

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.

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

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

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.

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

You've only seen me smile here.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.
Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

It was talent and skill, that's how I did it. A masterful display of driving ability!

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.

Sebastian Saavedra, Indy Bump Day 2010, via Twitter
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 miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.

Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
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
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
