Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
She was acting like a spoiled brat. I don't respect that. I tried to step away. She kept grabbing on me like a dog that wanted to bite my ankles.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.
Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!
Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013

Fernando Alonso after crashing in practice, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2019
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
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
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

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.

I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015
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
It's a new... track... record!

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