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

Danica Patrick on her final Indy 500, The Players' Tribune, May 15th 2018

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.

This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.

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.
