You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97

I think this is something that will really change the complexion of the sport for a long time to come, so this is big
Jay Frye on the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
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.

Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.

TrackSideOnline, May 2009
I was just hanging back there waiting for someone to make a mistake and it turned out to be me!

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
We are unified.
Terry Angstadt, February 22nd 2008
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

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
The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.
Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
That's a good way to lose a championship.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
