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

I remember the first year I raced here, I took pictures of the entrance. I was taking pictures. I hoped one day to race here in May.

It's just great, pure racing.

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
If they want to be on the front page of USA Today, they can be my guest. If I ever want attention, I'm just going to get out of the car and beat the hell out of somebody.
Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
I don't know him at all. Is he in his own little world?
Kevin Lee on Jacques Villeneuve, Trackside, August 2012
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.

I sometimes think that Graham doesn't have the right filter for this Sport!
Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.

We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...
Will Power on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
If we're racing on Superspeedways with catch fencing, I fear we're just playing the odds until we have something protecting our heads. It’s a scary thing to say.

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
I am stupid.
Zach Veach on Zach Veach after an off track excursion, IMS, July 4th 2020
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.

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.
