That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
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.

The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
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.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

Tony Kanaan, Detroit 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
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
We are unified.

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
