The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019
If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.
John Barnes on Sam Hornish Jr, indy 2003
There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.
Al Unser Jr.
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.

We'll be fine. I'll take them to Six Flags tomorrow and we'll all be fine.
Tony Kanaan on Marco & Danica, June 2009 at Texas Motor Speedway
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 think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.
Chip Ganassi
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
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
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

I'm the happiest guy on earth right now!

Paul Page, Michigan '99
I didn't leave. I was terminated.
Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019
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
Well, the elephant in the room is the aero kits.

Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
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.

The race that made the IRL famous!
Eddie Gossage on the Bombardier Lear Jet 500, May 2009
It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.
Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015

Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.

Michael Andretti, Watkins Glen 2006
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
Tom Carnegie
NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.
Graham Rahal on the Indianapolis 500, Racer.com, June 4th 2016
I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
