Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
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
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
Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. And sometimes you have an air gun failure.

I lifted a little, but I didn't touch the brake.
Will Power on the art of restarting, St Pete's, March 30th 2014
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
You don't pay me to run second.

It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

I need a nap now.
Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019

Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!
Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing

I drove the best race of my whole career!

James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
I miss my fans so much, you have no idea. I think I appreciate them more then I ever did.

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.

I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.
Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
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.
Ryan Hunter-Reay on canopies, Racer Magazine, 15 September 2014
The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500
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.

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
