F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

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
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!

It's a living, breathing, organism.

You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!

Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

A happy wife is a happy life!
Scott Dixon on marriage at the Carb Night Burger Bash, 2015
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
My Father said if you are going to win one race, make sure it is the Indianapolis 500
Eddie Cheever after winning the Indy 500

Danica Patrick, June 2005
I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

Alexander Rossi on IndyCar, The Indy Star, September 14th 2018
...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.
Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010
The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not.
Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06
Racing IndyCars at Richmond is like flying fighter jets in a gymnasium.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
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.

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
Speed on ovals is insane. Currently re-calibrating my eyes.

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
