Competitiveness has been a big thing for me.

In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice.

My son is racing his first 24-hour this year with Porsche.

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say

Obviously it's critical that the three cars are able to contribute to the program. I think that certainly has given much of the reason as to why we did so well at Indy over the last several years.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

What's really hit me over the years is that you go to every race and see all the well-wishers, and you really feel like you are connected with people after all these years.

There's a tremendous number of the Daytona Prototypes.

In 1982 when I showed up, the average age of the drivers in the series was something like 40, 41. The crowds were small. There was not much prize money. The competition wasn't very tight.

I'd seen people overstay their welcome and I didn't want that to happen at all.

I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.

I breathe in...the fragranceof love, and moist sandthe onehis roses lefton both my handsI just keep on breathingevery momentas much as I canpreserving it, in my bodyfor the dayit can’t.

That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget.

If you never dream of flying, then you'll never wake up with wings.

The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view. Since life is growth and motion a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one.

The will is the spirit of perseverance, and perseverance holds clear success.

I feel like theres so many people out there who have the kids in the palm of their hand, listening but there are so few people saying something

I like the natural sound of a room. All the rooms have their own sound, so it's a matter of putting it where you like and seeing what it sounds like.

When people are rushed, they're stressed and you greatly increase the likelihood of being punitive and unilateral just because you're trying to grasp control.

Only with the death it comes what's new, if the germen doesn't die, the plant will not be born.

O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below, Our foes press on from every side, Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
