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?

Dan Wheldon, Kansas 2007
I wish Beaux Barfield was officiating when I was driving - I'd have gotten a lot less penalties!

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007

Whether you're a fan in turn 1 or turn 4, it doesn't matter what position you have. We all make the Indianapolis 500 what it is.

James Hinchcliffe on what should make you want to attend the 500, via Twitter, April 2012
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.
