You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

Simon Pagenaud on insomnia, Twitter, 4:31 AM, July 23rd 2019

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

He's grounded.

Bryan Herta to Marco Andretti on Colton Herta knocking Marco out of P1 in final practice, Long Beach, April 14th 2019

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

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014

We're all back to square zero!

James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014

There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006

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

Gentlemen... restart your engines!

Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004

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

The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Billy Boat

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

Helio Castroneves

James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

So it was a bad result but good day. Led laps, good restarts, passed people, worked with the car, but finished crap! movin on!!

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013

...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

The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

Tony Stewart, May 2007

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023

Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

Milka, if you're gonna go that slow you gotta drive your mirrors, hon'!

Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010

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

Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

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

I drove the best race of my whole career!

Rinus VeeKay on finishing 5th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007

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

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

Having a pulse should make you want to attend the 500.

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012

I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

TrackSideOnline, May 2009

Not bad for a part timer ;o)

Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021

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

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014

It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Josef Newgarden on finishing 7th at the IMS Road Course, July 4th 2020

The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.

Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Dan Wheldon

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

He said its the best team out there. If its the best team, he shouldn't have a problem.

Chip Ganassi on whether he'd allow Jaun Pablo Montoya to test for Penske, Houston, October 2013

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

A Sarah Fisher malapropism, Texas 2007

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

Fernando Alonso on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

We are unified.
