Eyes on the starter...

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
A happy wife is a happy life!

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
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
Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!
Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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 drove the best race of my whole career!
Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020
The wall came too close and too quickly.

You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
We're all back to square zero!

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.

That's a cool shot of the glowing brake disc!

Alexander Rossi on building an IndyCar legacy, Mobil1TheGrid.com, December 10th 2018
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.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023
Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.
