Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.

Jack Harvey on the Indianapolis 500, indianapolismotorspeedway.com, February 21st 2019
