I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.
Will Power on the long off season, St Petersburg, March 21st 2013
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.

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
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.

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!
Paul Page, Michigan '99

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

Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

I think it's is a long putt, so I think we're safe for a while.

Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.
Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
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
To finish first you must first finish.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

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

I plan to be here hopefully until I'm into my 40s, and to accomplish something like Scott has done.

If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.

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
Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
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.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006
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
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
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
The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.

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

Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?

It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
