Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

I didn't leave. I was terminated.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

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
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.

Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.
Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015
Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016
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.

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

Brian Clauson's car got pretty beat up yesterday. It's black and blue all over
