Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008
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?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
She's just feeling the pressure of not winning races.

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
To finish first you must first finish.

From now on, Scheckter, when used as a verb, means, "To steal one's wireless internet access."

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
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.

James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018

She probably does not know what that is, so I can say I'm going to Las Vegas to play poker and she'll think it's something like that!
Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016

Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.
Sam Schmidt on Chevy's advantage with domed skids, Racer.com, April 7th 2016

Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.
Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
Every podium tastes like glory and every victory more so.
Alex Palou on the calibre of competition in IndyCar, September 5th 2023, via Marca.com

Danica Patrick, June 2005
I've never been so happy to be in last place.
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!

You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?
Chip Ganassi on Tony Kanaan's Family Feud appearance, via Twitter, July 26th 2016
It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
Going into Texas with four wheels on the car is pretty exciting!

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.

Broke a glass at a restaurant. Apologize to the waiter, he looks at me, says "Accidents happen. YOU know what I mean!"
