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.
Mikhail Aleshin on drivers who are too scared to run the Indy 500, May 16th 2017
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
With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR
Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
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
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
If we're not racing hard, we're not racing.
Tony Kanaan, St Pete's 2007
It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.
Marcus Ericsson on The Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 2023
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
Patience is a virtue... and someone wasn't very virtuous today.
James Hinchcliffe on an unnamed driver, Long Beach 2014
I didn't leave. I was terminated.
Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
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
This is a huge day for the IndyCar Series and for our sport as a whole, for sure.
Michael Andretti, February 22nd 2008
Heeeeeee's on it!
Tom Carnegie
Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tom Carnegie
I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
All up it was one of the toughest weekends of my career in ANY form of motorsport, and you can sometimes learn more from your roughest days out there.
Scott McLaughlin on his Detroit weekend, June15th 2021, Speedcafe.com
I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021
Winning is always a great feeling, but winning at your home track, a place that you grew up at and a place that helped you fall in love with the sport of IndyCar racing... this is priceless.
Graham Rahal on winning at Mid-Ohio, Instagram, August 3rd 2015
As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...
Sarah Fisher on keeping Josef Newgarden in her team, Racer.com, August 3rd 2015
What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
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.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
It's a living, breathing, organism.
Eddie Cheever on Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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
We'll see how it unfolds, and we're going to have to give each other respect and the space on the track.
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, June 2007
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
Tony Kanaan, May 2007
If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.
Eddie Cheever
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
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!
Dan Wheldon
Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.
Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017
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
It's great that it's one minute after six!
Marty Roth, Indy Bump Day 2007
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Sam Hornish Jr. on winning the 90th Indy 500
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
Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
Not bad for a part timer ;o)
Graham Rahal on finishing 5th at Toronto, via Twitter, July 2010
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
Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!
Tom Carnegie on A.J. Foyt, 1967
To finish first you must first finish.
Rick Mears
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
I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!
Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
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
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
