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.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

Since last fall I've been wondering what in the hell it's going to feel like, and now I know.

Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
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
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
I was a craft beer and a wallet chain away from being a hipster!

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