I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
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

If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.

This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
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.

Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016

When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010

If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

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.
