Desire is the key to motivation, but it`s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.
Mario Andretti
Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs.
Mario Andretti
I drive pretty fast even on the highway in my Lamborghini. I don`t like to drive at enormous top speed, but I do like to drive a little bit faster than everyone else. So if everybody on the highway is doing 80, I`ll do 82 or something, and if people are d...
Danica Patrick
There is a misconception that I left the Indy Car Series because there was something wrong with it and there really is not. It was time for that new challenge. It was time to start a new adventure. I was looking for that but there is nothing wrong with th...
Dario Franchitti
I don`t really think about carrying on the family racing name, I`m just so proud of my family and real proud to be involved with my father in racing. It`s a good relationship. I`m proud of my father and grandfather and what they`ve done.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
If I wasn`t racing, I`d be working at my dad`s Chevrolet dealership. It was only a couple of years ago that I was the fastest oil-change man in the place.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
If it works for you, do it. If its how you feel, act it. Just be yourself, and if being yourself means you`re being cocky once in a while, have at it.
Tony Stewart
I`m so happy to be a part of this team. We have a great unit, and that`s what it takes. It takes a lot more than just a driver. The guys taught me a lot last season, and I`m sure I`ll keep learning about racing for many years to come.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
It`s difficult to lose a guy like Dario, not only because he`s a great driver but because he`s a good friend, too. We`re going to miss him. But the series made great strides over the past couple of years and this year in particular. I was asked in Detroit...
Danica Patrick
That`s the great thing about Joe Gibbs and Home Depot. They`ve always said if I wanted to come back and run Indy, that they`re behind me 100 percent. I firmly believe their heart is where my heart is, and they want me to be happy and be able to come back ...
Tony Stewart
You`ve got to be with a team that`s hungry, that`s on the edge, and confidence plays a big role as far as the driver goes. And I think the group is as hungry as everyone else out there. I feel we got things in the right place.
Bobby Labonte
You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work.
Alain Prost
You tend to think that there is a big gap between F1 and everything else. F1 is where all the fantastic drivers are, so you just don`t know how good you are until you get there.
Jean Alesi
You should never feel comfortable. There is something wrong if you are. You should always feel under threat, on the edge of your seat and pushing yourself. Win one and you want to win more. It`s never-ending.
Damon Hill
You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It`s just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.
Jeff Gordon
You just have to be aware of who you are around. You know the guys who are going to take chances, so you stay away from them. There a lot of people who maybe have one coming, and this could be the night (they get it).
Jamie McMurray
You have to visualize a second or two ahead of your car what line you are taking, what you are going to do, before you get there because it comes too fast.
Emerson Fittipaldi
You had to decompress the pressure before the race. I taught my heart to relax. I lay down before the race. It gave me more energy just before the race.
Emerson Fittipaldi
You get one or two teams having big, winning years, like [Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle] are doing this year, ... and that doesn`t leave too many wins for the rest of us.
Jeremy Mayfield
You don`t want to wreck somebody to get back at him, ... I just wanted to find him after the race so I could punch him, to be honest with you. I was so mad. I thought I just wanted to hit him and that would make me feel better.
Jamie McMurray
