What a day. This place is magical. It is still the 'beginning of the season' for me but everything is starting to fall into place. This is the best month of May, ever.

Tony Stewart, May 2007
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
This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

You know, bison do seem like some very American animals.

It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.
Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
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.

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
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
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
Second place is nothing.
Marco Andretti, Indy 2006
Let's wait and watch.
Tom Carnegie
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

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
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.
A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007
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
If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
