I get one more opportunity to head into the defining racing venue of my career with a single, achievable goal: Win.

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018

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

Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Tom Carnegie

There comes a time in a race where money doesn't matter, living doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters, and so when you go into those corners, it's winning that tells all.

Al Unser Jr.

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

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

I need a nap now.

Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019

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

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016

When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

Tim Cindric on the radio to Will Power, Detroit, 5th June 2016

This is and always will be the greatest spectacle in racing. This is the Indianapolis 500.

Leigh Diffey, as the green flag waved at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 29th 2022

Time to go to the back row party!

Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017

I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

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!

Eyes on the starter...

Tom Carnegie

I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

Paul Tracy on lax penalties for avoidable contact, Long Beach 2014

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

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005

Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.

James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014

I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

Danica Patrick, June 2005

Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.

Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008

Everyone wants to pick a fight with me. Whatever.

Sage Karam on everyone wanting to pick a fight with him, IndyStar.com, August 3rd 2015

I am a connoisseur of information!

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023

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

That was the hairiest day I've ever had.

Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.

Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007

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

Roger Penske on the possibility of F1 returning to Long Beach, April 2014

You won't believe it!

Tom Carnegie

It's great that it's one minute after six!

Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007

I am stupid.

Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020

Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅

Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.

Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014

Back at the big house next weekend, kids.

Alexander Rossi on the Harvest GP, Twitter.com, 24th September 2020

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

Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

Dan Wheldon on the Indy 500

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021

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

...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

I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?

Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012

The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.

Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!

Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014

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

Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
