  • Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.

    Tony Stewart, May 2007

  • I think the IRL has been poised for a long time to be discovered by a lot of people.

    Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007

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

    Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007

  • 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.

  • Finishing in the Top-10 here was because of nutrition.

    Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007

  • I WILL win at Kentucky.

    Will Power, Chicago 2010

    James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 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.

    Franck Perera on racing ovals, Homestead 2008

  • 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.

    Marco Andretti on an unidentified teammate after Milwaukee 2009

  • The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
