Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.

Heeeeeee's on it!

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!

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

Paul Tracy on AJ Foyt, May 2009
Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017

I am a connoisseur of information!
Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016
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
I just can't wait to get back in the car. I wonder if I'm still any good.

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2007
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?

Most importantly, for the Indy 500 we'll probably be all okay, and that's cause to be happy.

I can't believe I'm here. It's so cool!
Mike Conway in victory lane, Long Beach 2014
Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
Cheever had a problem with my dad, he had a problem with me, and now he's taking it out on Marco.

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!

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

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
I never would've had my opportunity to race at Indy if it weren't for Tony George and the IRL.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Good morning from the start/finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."
Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!

I'd have finished my career very disappointed had I not won the Indy 500. It's an amazing feeling and an amazing event.
Will Power on winning the 102nd Indy 500, racer.com, August 7th 2018
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.
Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

Having raced all over the planet, I would say that IndyCar is the toughest beast yet to master for me.
Felix Rosenqvist, Motorsports.com, September 17th 2019
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.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
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.

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.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
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.
TrackSideOnline, May 2009
Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015
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.
