This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.

We're all back to square zero!
James Hinchcliffe on the start of a new season, Trackside, March 18th 2014
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.

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
It's a new... track... record!
Tom Carnegie
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.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
This track, believe it or not, has done worse to me in the past, and we came back swinging.
James Hinchcliffe on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Bump Day, May 19th 2018

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

Danica Patrick after Iowa 2009, via Twitter
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
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.
