    Eric Bachelart, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

  • 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.

    James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016
