A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016

Mikhail Aleshin on Honda's prospects for the 2017 season, Motorsport.com, February 2nd 2017
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

You've only seen me smile here.
Romain Grosjean on being in IndyCar, after the GMR Grand Prix, IMS, May 15th 2021

Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

Simon Pagenaud on the 2016 season, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016

Tony Kanaan on Dan and Danica, Milwaukee 2007
When I saw he was slowing down, I have to say it was a relief. I thought, 'Now we can finally unleash the beast inside and go for the win.'
Simon Pagenaud on Will Power's misfortune at Sonoma, ESPN.com, September 18th 2016
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
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

Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
