I'm 38. I'm a legit 38. I don't know how old you are, but I'm legit 38. March 3 1981.

The last time this flag was on the front row of the Indy500, I wasn’t born. Makes me proud.
Rinus Veekay on the Dutch flag, Twitter.com, May 25th 2021
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.
Fernando Alonso on the Indy 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 19th 2019
It's a great feeling. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

If he thinks I'm not going to remember that, HE'S CRAZY!
Danica Patrick on Dan Wheldon, Milwaukee 2007
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
The only reason I'm wearin' it is so I didn't leave it in no hotel nowhere!
A.J. Foyt on his Indy 500 winner's ring, Detroit, June 3rd 2016
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.
Chip Ganassi on Honda, St Petersberg, March 23rd 2013
Then again my favorite films of all time are Fast and the Furious 1 through 8 or however many of them there are.

The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.
Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
John Andretti, Indy 2010
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
Heeeeere's something that's amazing... i-dent-ical laps.
Tom Carnegie
You don't gotta win by five seconds - you just gotta win.
Tony Kanaan, Motegi 2007
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
The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.
Buddy Lazier on the Indy 500
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

If you're an open-wheel racer and not at Indy in May, you're not really a race car driver. You just think you are.

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.

This has been the best season of my career in motorsport and I've learned so much. We'll be coming back to win this thing next year.

Antony! Yer losin' 3 seconds a lap! Now get yer foot into it, I'm not gonna tell ya again!!
AJ Foyt, Chicagoland 2004
I think Danica's pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there!
Ed Carpenter, July 2006
Do you still remember how to celebrate these things?!

Without the IRL, a lot of guys would never have been able to show what they can do.
Tony Stewart, May 2007
It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
Adam Alexander, Indy 2005
I hope all the fans out there were as excited about that race as I am. It was awesome doing so much passing. Racing can't get any better!
Graham Rahal on the Kentucky 300, August 2009
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.
Bobby Rahal on the benefits of a spec series, Racer.com, May 18th 2016
I WILL win at Kentucky.
Will Power, Chicago 2010
This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

Curt Cavin on Graham Rahal speaking his mind, Traxkaide, May 23rd 2023
I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.

I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
