Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.
Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

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.

We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008

...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.

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
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
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
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.

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
Eyes on the starter...
