Eyes on the starter...
Tom Carnegie
It's like a reunion to come back here every May. I've never retired. I always say, "I'm not done yet."
Parnelli Jones, Indy 2007
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.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
You don't pay me to run second.

I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

You've only seen me smile here.
Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021
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.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016
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.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race

Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
I promise you this: it isn't the last you've seen of me at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My last time there will not be a day when I'm walking out with my tail between my legs.
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
It was a tough day – really disappointing... I guess it was a good day in reality.

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
I wasn't thinking, 'That's Eddie [Cheever] and he's in an Infiniti and so I need to beat him.' I was thinking, 'That's Eddie, and I want to kick his ass!'
Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

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
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

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

Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

If he wins this race with what he has to work with, they ought to name this place after him.

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
