I need a nap now.

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Hope you're all snug in your beds, while Indycars dance in your head...

You know, if you're going to have an example of how not to go about things, this is 100 percent how you would do it.

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.

When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.

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
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.

What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

I am a connoisseur of information!

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
If I ever pit with her again, I'm not racing for this team anymore - ever!
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2007
This place isn't easy. It's not supposed to be easy. This place starts the 33 fastest, best-prepared cars. Obviously, I missed.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
I've seen this place be absolutely great to me, and I've seen it wrench my heart from my body.
Dan Wheldon on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Some people strap on their helmet and lose their brains.
