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

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.

Competitiveness has been a big thing for me.

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.

Be suspicious of what you want.

My body was braille for the creeping influences.

We learn to lie by believing words rather than experience.
