Beautiful chaos!
David Malukas on the racing at Texas Motor Speedway, April 2nd 2023

PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
At 220mph friendship, risk and victory become extremely volatile.
Dan Wheldon
Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!
Sarah Fisher after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
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.

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

It's a Top-10 but after finishing here fifth last year nothing less than that would really be satisfying because you always want more.
Ed Carpenter after the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

The Indianapolis 500 is about the fastest 33 Indy car drivers going for one prize. If they happen to come from America, that's great.

I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

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

I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.

And here comes Max Crappis into the pits!

Let's wait and watch.
Tom Carnegie
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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.
Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

Colton Herta on the final restart, Road America, June 12th 2022
