The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
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.
Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015

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

I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
