I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

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.

Paul Page, Michigan '99

James Hinchcliffe on beard growth, Tim and Sid's Plays of the Week, September 14th 2015

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

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.

Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.
