• A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries. – Will Rogers • A fantastic analogy for the power of focus is racing cars. When your car begins to skid, the natural reflex is to look at the wall in an attempt to avoid it. But if you keep focusing on what you fear, that’s exactly where you’ll end up. Professional racers know that we unconsciously steer in the direction of our focus, so with their lives on the line, they turn their focus away from the wall and towards the open track. – Tony Robbins • A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments. – Mario Andretti • A racing tipster who only reached Hitler’s level of accuracy would not do well for his clients. – A. J. P. Taylor • A recent conversation: Dubya: Look at the clock, time is racing! Cheney: That’s the second hand, George. – Dennis Miller • A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he i A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he is still racing. He is still alive – Garth Stein • After 20 years of racing career the most important lessons I learned is that you need to have the passion and really love to ride your bike every day at the highest level. Also, for me personally, my goal was to always try to beat another generation, to try to beat the sport again. Trying to develop myself even when I was 37 years old. – Sven Nys • Alcohol is for drinking, gas is for cleaning parts, and nitro is for racing! – Don Garlits • All of my free time is made up of motor sports endeavors, be them motorcycles or off-road racing or track days. I just love anything with an engine. That is one of my main loves. Obviously, my other well-known love is Kristen Bell. – Dax Shepard • All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Then man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. – George R. R. Martin • And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing. – Murray Walker • Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does. – Murray Walker • As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing. – Carlos Ghosn • At some point in every racer’s life he has to make his peace with cheating. I do not approve of cheating … at all. Of course, like every successful racer, I differentiate between taking advantage of loopholes in the regulations, stretching the grey areas and outright cheating. In any given racing series I will not start the cheating. If someone else starts it, I will appeal to them and to the officials to stop it. If my efforts do not succeed, then I’ll show them how it is done. – Carroll Smith • Auto racing began 5 minutes after the second car was built. – Henry Ford • Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down. – Dave Barry • Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports… all the others are games. – Ernest Hemingway

To remember is to disengage from the present. In order to reach any kind of success in automobile racing, a driver must never remember. – Garth Stein • Before I was an actor I was an apprentice jockey, and now I’m out there racing against boys, sort of the spokesperson for people over 50 that they can do it. – Davy Jones • Before she realized he was next to her, he had placed his hands over hers on the countertop, then hooped his fingers through hers. Gretel looked up at him, so startled she might as well have been shot. ‘I just wanted to wake you up’, he said. Which is exactly what he did. One look at him and her heart was racing. One look, and whatever had been before was all over. – Alice Hoffman • Boxing is not brutal, it’s an art – God has gifted me with incredible handspeed as a tool to be used – what else am I supposed to do but fight? There ain’t no hand-racing competitions. – Roy Jones Jr. • But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I’ve been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun. – Picabo Street • By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. – Ayrton Senna • Cam held her closer. “Marry me, Amelia. You’re what I want. You’re my fate.” One hand slid to the back of her head, gripping the braids and ribbons to keep her mouth upturned. “Say yes.” He nibbled at her lips, licked at them, opened them. He kissed her until she writhed in his arms, her pulse racing. “Say it, Amelia, and save me from ever having to spend a night with another woman. I’ll sleep indoors. I’ll get a haircut. God help me, I think I’d even carry a pocket watch if it pleased you. – Lisa Kleypas • Can you giggle while racing for your life and protecting a six-year-old? I can. – James Patterson • Chapel services on race day have a calming effect. It’s a nice time for us to worship and try to get the message and hear some music and have a little fellowship together before we get to racing. – Matt Kenseth • Daytona is a restrictor-plate race and, unlike Daytona, guys can’t get in a line at Phoenix and go to the front. Daytona and Talladega (Ala.) have always just been two different forms of racing. With the draft being so important at those two tracks, it’s more of a team deal than an individual deal. What happens at Phoenix and the races after that has to be done on your own. You can’t help each other at Phoenix. You just have to go race. – Tony Stewart • Different people have different reasons for racing, but one is simply the incentive to get out and run, increase mileage and feel good. – Hal Higdon • Driving a stock car does not require much handling ability, at least not as compared to Grand Prix racing, because the tracks are simple banked ovals and there is almost no shifting of gears. So, qualifying becomes a test of raw nerve – of how fast a man is willing to take a curve. – Tom Wolfe • Driving is something really special for me. Even women doesn’t excite me as much as racing cars! I guess I’m just becoming old. – Michele Alboreto • Each thing I do, I rush through so I can do something else. In such a way do the days pass – -a blend of stock car racing and the never ending building of a gothic cathedral. Through the windows of my speeding car I see all that I love falling away: books unread, jokes untold, landscapes unvisited. – Stephen Dobyns • Ever since I was a little kid, when I was racing motocross and stuff, it’s been a dream to ride for Red Bull someday. – Aaron Gwin • Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death. – Jean Cocteau • Everything we do needs to be geared toward making the sport [auto racing] more accessible to the fans – the rules of the sport, how the race plays itself out, how people qualify into the races – everything needs to be as easy to understand as possible. – Dale Earnhardt, Jr. • Finding a sponsor is the toughest part of racing, tougher than driving. – Shawna Robinson • Finishing races is important, but racing is more important. – Dale Earnhardt • For me, it really just feels calm. When you’re going fast on a downhill course, it’s typically where it’s wide open. I think it’s kind of like driving a car. If you’re going really fast and it’s straight, everything seems to slow down. In general, racing downhill involves bigger turns and everything sort of slows down and you have a lot of time to think. – Julia Mancuso • Get every candidate to wear a NASCAR racing suit when they go debate; this way we can see how their sponsors really are. – Jesse Ventura • God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will. – Helen Steiner Rice • Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie – those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running – the proverbial icing on the cake – has always been racing. – Bill Rodgers • Her heart was pounding impossibly fast. Then she realized She was feeling both of their hearts, racing each other. A kind of desperate conversation, one they couldn’t have with words. – Lauren Kate • Horse racing is waning in popularity. – Elayne Boosler • I am a racer. I’m not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That’s what I do. I don’t go on vacations. I don’t take my family on vacations because I don’t have a family. My family is the racing family. – Tony Stewart • I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It’s a great feeling to be back fighting for the title. – Valentino Rossi • I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing. – Mark Webber • I am not motivated by recognition, I just do things I like doing – racing, shagging, eating and drinking. – David Coulthard • I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver. – Niki Lauda • I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years. – Valentino Rossi • I believe that we have free will. I believe we get the chance to make choices in our lives. Not everything is set in stone from the moment we’re born. We choose our destiny, our ultimate fate. But I also think that we don’t realize the choices we’ve made until after we make them. We’re racing down a freeway, only to realize we’ve missed all the exits, and the only direction we can go is dead ahead. – Neal Shusterman • I can now officially to the wife “It’s work, darling” I have to watch racing. I have to watch every second. And actually, my wife who can’t stand racing has got into it and once she understood the politics it becomes more interesting for non-racing people I think. – Asif Kapadia • I come from an ordinary family – my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker – and we’ve always loved racing together. – Sebastian Vettel • I didn’t get into racing to make friends. – Jimmie Johnson • I didn’t miss out on a family life because of racing. I had one because of it. – Richard Petty • I don’t know if you’ve ever been skiing, but if you go to the slope you’ll see all these kids fearlessly zooming by. It’s only when we get older that fear creeps in. But for me, it just never has. And when it comes to racing, it’s always about who is willing to go further, who is willing to take that extra step. I’m willing to take any amount of pain to win. I’m hungry like you. – Lewis Hamilton • I don’t miss racing, but I miss the time to train every day, to do the workouts, because I’m busy with a lot of things now. But if I have space during my day, I want to have a good workout, because my main goal right now is to give all the experience I’ve had in my career back to young riders, to companies. – Sven Nys • I don’t put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously. – Bode Miller • I enjoy Saturday night racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can’t make your body move fast enough… But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn’t running for my life: I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today. – Stephenie Meyer • I had an opportunity to move to L.A. back in 1999 and start up a horse racing network of all things. At the time, I was younger and married but didn’t have kids; so we thought, Let’s just go to L.A. for a while and have fun, and we can always come home. One thing led to another; and once I was out there, I had my eyes opened to this other world and quickly got a home and gardens show and did a game show and then The Bachelor ended up falling into my lap in 2001. And ‘the rest is history’ as they say. – Chris Harrison • I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording. – Andrea Bocelli • I hung out with a lot of the riders to get their attitude and they’re all like men. Men among boys. They have a certain calm to them which is really impressive. They go out there and they’re racing 80 miles per hour, or jumping 60 foot jumps, I think they get all their adrenaline out. So during the day, they’re just quiet, aloof and stoic superheroes kinda, you know what I mean? They’re very, very respectful. It’s a very family oriented sport. Everybody knows everybody so there’s a lot of respect and understanding. – Steve Howey • I just bought a Lambourghini, I’m not even into racing with a windshield full of tickets cause I live right by the station. – Drake • I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing. – Major Taylor • I lean on a lot of drivers. I have a dirt racing background so I gravitate towards asking for advice from drivers who also dirt race, people like Clint Bowyer since dirt racers seem to have a similar driving style and like the car set up similarly. – Austin Dillon • I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse. – Juan Manuel Fangio • I like movies that are scary, but I don’t want them to be dirt dumb. I want a movie that gets my blood racing, makes me laugh, but also gives me something to think about, with maybe a little sexy thrown in. Hollywood doesn’t make movies like that. – Penn Jillette • I like racing but food and pictures are more thrilling. I can’t give them up. In racing you can be certain, to the last thousandth of a second, that someone is the best, but with a film or a recipe, there is no way of knowing how all the ingredients will work out in the end. The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking. – Paul Newman • I love F1, the cars and the speed. I love the race in Monaco for example, because there’s such a special atmosphere on the streets and also, the race is very technical. I’m a big racing fan in general, so I’d love to try the cars. – Michel Salgado • I love to feel a racing car around me, to feel the way it holds me. I love to make it do all that it was built to do, and then a little bit more. – Stirling Moss • I never collected cars as a financial thing; I wanted to go racing, so I chose the cars I wanted to go racing with. Like the Ferrari 250 GTO. I bought it because it absolutely fulfilled everything I wanted from a car. – Nick Mason • I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it – Connie Chung • I really don’t (stay calm) all the time. I just try to. Part of not just racing but in life, I try not to let the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I try to stay somewhere right in the middle. In racing it’s not always easy to do. You can get too excited or overconfident when things are going good and it’s easy to get too far in the ditch when things are going bad. – Matt Kenseth • I want to be up front racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I will continue to get behind the wheel of a racing car as long as I am able. But that could all end tomorrow. – Paul Newman • I’d just find a story in Canada and come and do it. Combine harvester banger – actually I’ve done that: banger racing up in Red Deer [in Alberta, for his 1998 doc series Extreme Machines]. – Jeremy Clarkson • If there’s anyone out there who has taken extreme to a new level, its Joe De Sena – in adventure racing, in business, and ultimately in the business of adventure! Spartan Up! is must-read. – Robyn Benincasa • If you don’t know where you’re going, stop racing to get there. — from Just Desert by M. T. Anderson – Chris Van Allsburg • If you spend all of your time racing ahead to the future, you’re liable to discover you’ve left a great present behind. – Tom Wilson • I’m a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I’m commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car. – Murray Walker • I’m way too old to change sports now. Sportsmen start so young – some of the ski jumpers we were talking to, they were jumping those giant ramps at nine years old. It’s definitely something they’ve dedicated their entire lives to, and that’s why they’re so good at it. I started racing when I was 11, so there are a lot of similarities there. They grow up as a kid, find something they are passionate about, and they continue to work at it to try to be the best they can be. – Martin Truex Jr. • In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life. – Lewis Hamilton • In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice. – Bobby Rahal • In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple. – Paul Newman • In racing, there is no question who is best – the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn’t going to like it, because it isn’t their style. Judging wine is very subjective. – Mario Andretti • In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle. – Garth Stein • In the early morning hours, Hannah read at the table by the dim light of dawn. She leaned in close to the pages, chin resting on her folded arms, eyes racing over the words, like chasing butterflies over the hills, to catch as many as she could before going to work. She wondered at how such tales of magic could be contained by mere paper and ink for her to read again and again. – Matthew J. Kirby • In the last three years of racing I’ve met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it’s the same thing. My wife loves cars, but the difference is she doesn’t have 20 years of understanding the background of them. She basically drives them and uses her gut feelings as to which is best. – Tim Allen • Ironman distance triathlons are a true test of oneself as a whole. Each race is a test of physical, mental and spiritual toughness that I haven’t found in any other type of racing. At the end of the day, challenging myself on all levels is what it’s about for me. – Timothy O’Donnell • It is a responsibility to be who you are and not let this sport [racing] change you and not let the good runs and success or the bad runs change you. You’ve got to be the same person all the time. – Trevor Bayne • It seems to me that oftentimes in young relationships once there’s a problem of some significance then it’s almost like they’re both racing for the dumper buzzer. – Daniel Handler • It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn’t enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem. – Niki Lauda • It’s basically the same, just darker. (on racing Saturday nights as opposed to Sunday afternoons, 1991 – Alan Kulwicki • It’s been a few days since I’ve seen my kids. My hearts racing; I can’t wait to hold them. This is just a glimpse into God’s heart at Mass. – Mark Hart • It’s great to learn more about sports I’m probably less familiar with – stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports – and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football. Sports is a way of life for billions of people around the planet. – Tom Brady • It’s the engine. They should have never had that. The biggest mistake people have made… I say, “people,” because it wasn’t just me alone, was not insisting Mercedes supply Red Bull an engine. Because had they supplied the same engine as they had, you would have seen good racing, you would have seen Red Bull up there last year. – Bernie Ecclestone • I’ve loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father. – Queen Latifah • I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car. – Nigel Mansell • Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver. – Jackie Stewart • Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.- Matt Groening • Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth. – Freeman Dyson • Millions of people are joined in the knowledge that writing brings insight and calm in the same way that prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the woods does. They have discovered that writing allows the racing mind to move at the pace of pen and paper or the pace of typing on the waiting screen – that journal writing is a spiritual practice. – Christina Baldwin • Money is how we keep the score in motor racing nowadays. – Colin Chapman • Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can’t figure out. – Will Rogers • Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: ‘Why am I racing?’ I race because I like it, because I’m really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I’m still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence. – Valentino Rossi • Motor Racing Outreach is great. They provide a chapel service every Sunday for drivers, wives, crew members, and others in the NASCAR industry so that we can gather and celebrate our faith. It’s important to me to have this time before the race on Sundays. They also provide other services such as at-track childcare and counseling. – Austin Dillon • Motor racing’s less of a sport these days than a commercial break doing 150 mph. – Peter Dunne • My father instilled in me a love for racing. – Kurt Busch • My focus is definitely on the racing. – Scott Dixon • My No. 1 goal in racing was never to be the most popular driver. – Brad Keselowski • My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I’d make a career in it but I never had any plan B. – Jenson Button • My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble. – Bill Rodgers • Okay. Then…I can talk. Ask me something.” “Okay.” He laughs shakily in my ear. “Why is your heart racing Tris?” I cringe and say, “Well, I…I barely know you. I barely know you and I’m crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?”… “Maybe you were cut out for Candor,” he says, “because you’re a terrible liar. – Veronica Roth • Our racing simulator is more about gathering data about the car, trying different setups, and trying to find speed in the actual racecar as opposed to speed in the actual driver. There’s no other way to get that kind of testing in, without doing the actual event, or getting outside and spending the money to make it happen. And it costs a lot to go to the racetrack. – Martin Truex Jr. • Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing. – Kurt Busch • Racing and hunting excite man’s heart to madness. – Laozi • Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face. – Jeremy Clarkson • Racing comes easily to me, especially the 100 metres. That is why, no matter how fast I run the run the 100 metres, the 200 will always mean more to me, because of the effort I’ve put in. – Usain Bolt • Racing drivers have balls, unfortunantly, none of them are crystal – David Coulthard • Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation. – Enzo Ferrari • Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife’s life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego. – Greg LeMond • Racing is bulging at the seams with pure nutball characters, men who can drink more, screw more, fight more, laugh more, joke more, than practically any collection of people in the world. – Brock Yates • Racing is dangerous, but I’ve been in a lot worse situations as a pipe fitter. – Neil Bonnett • Racing is in my blood, I can’t quite get out of it yet. – Dick Trickle • Racing is not football or baseball or basketball where you can do it yourself. If you’re good in high school, you just shine. (But in racing) you have to have a family behind you. – Trevor Bayne • Racing is not what I like to do; it’s winning. – Jeff Gordon • Racing is the constant search for the weakest link. – Duane Bailey • Racing is the fun part; it’s the reward of all the hard work. – Kara Goucher • Racing should never be an ordeal, rather an enjoyable and life-enhancing experience. – Bruce Fordyce • Rail is such an undignified way to travel. All that rapid racing about. Floating has so much more gravitas. – Gail Carriger • Road racing is rock ‘n roll; track is Carnegie Hall. – Marty Liquori • She felt as if she had been running, and had created a hill and was racing down the other side, and there was no stopping now. Gravity was taking her where she had to go. “But — everyone cares about something. Don’t they? – Cassandra Clare • Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it’d be quite hard to live with – so I need to keep racing. – Mark Webber • Slalom skiers train their whole lives for like a minute and a half. We’re not soccer or tennis players that can play the whole game. Once you’re in the World Cup, you’re physically prepared, so then ski racing almost always comes down to more mental than physical. I’ve been working on understanding that I’ve done everything that I can up until this point, and now I need to breathe and enjoy the moment, and do what I know I can do, versus trying to do more. Because you’re fighting to do more, but that doesn’t always work. – Resi Stiegler • Street circuits mean that we are racing in the centre of roads that people use everyday, which is very cool for drivers, but it also makes it very easy to make a mistake, which adds more excitement for fans. – Sam Bird • Tell me the word that will win you, and I will speak it. I will speak the stars of heaven into a crown for your head; I will speak the flowers of the field into a cloak; I will speak the racing stream into a melody for your ears and the voices of a thousand larks to sing it; I will speak the softness of night for your bed and the warmth of summer for your coverlet; I will speak the brightness of flame to light your way and the luster of gold to shine in your smile; I will speak until the hardness in you melts away and your heart is free. – Stephen R. Lawhead • That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life it. – Kara Goucher • The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they’ve got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It’s another one where we’re racing to save humanity. – Eric McCormack • The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it. – Hunter S. Thompson • The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one. – Junior Johnson • The builder of the best racing car is not necessarily its best driver. – Hans Selye • The competition is a big part of it [racing] – the passion you have for the sport and the knowledge you have. You’re not just going to wake up one day and say, ” think I’ll do something different.” This is what I’ve done my whole life. My competitive nature and my passion for the sport, those are the things that keep you wanting to do better. – Bobby Labonte • The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand. – Juan Manuel Fangio • The makeup of the drivers has changed a lot with so many young drivers coming and a lot of the legends moving on. Compared to when I started, it’s gone through a lot of changes. The cars have changed a lot and the approach to racing. There are a lot more employees. It’s become a much bigger business and more corporate. – Matt Kenseth • The number of people that can reason well is much smaller than those that can reason badly. If reasoning were like hauling rocks, then several reasoners might be better than one. But reasoning isn’t like hauling rocks, it’s like, it’s like racing, where a single, galloping Barbary steed easily outruns a hundred wagon-pulling horses. – Galileo Galilei • The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business. – John Steinbeck • The racing driver needs to be fed a diet of other racing drivers. – Carroll Smith • The rain’s been racing earthwards as if with some religious or political fanaticism. The clouds have the look of dark internal bleeding. Surely you lot look up from Cosmo while this sort of thing’s going on? Surely you take a Playstation break? – Glen Duncan • The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now – that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality. – Eckhart Tolle • The Showdown is a great way to bring attention to these historic Virginia tracks where many NASCAR drivers cut their teeth in stock car racing, including myself. Tracks like South Boston and Langley are the heart of the sport and draw a great crowd to our Showdown events. – Denny Hamlin • The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy. But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you. – Oprah Winfrey • The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing. – Lance Armstrong • There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. – Ernest Hemingway • There are those who keep out of mischief, and there are the adventurers, ‘ he said. “We racing drivers are adventurers; the more difficult something is, the greater the attraction that comes from it. – Juan Manuel Fangio • There is a sociology of horses, as well as a psychology. It is most evident in the world of horse racing, where many horses are gathered together, where year after year, decade after decade, they do the same, rather simple thing – run in races and try to win. – Jane Smiley • There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose. – Garth Stein • There is no doubt about precisely when folks began racing each other in automobiles. It was the day they built the second automobile. – Richard Petty • There’s a thrill when you steal something in plain view of other people. When you drop a newspaper over a sign and walk away with it, or take something off a wall and the sound of the glue ripping makes people turn around. Your heart is racing, it’s a rush. – George Carlin • There’s only one racing strategy that matters.It’s the one I run by: Get in the lead and don’t let anyone pass you. – Megan McCafferty • They watched storms out there so distant they could not be heard, the silent lightning flaring sheetwise and the thin black spine of the mountain chain fluttering and sucked away again in the dark. They saw wild horses racing on the plain, pounding their shadows down the night and- leaving in the moonlight a vaporous dust like the palest stain of their passing. – Cormac McCarthy • Time has stopped; time is racing. Lochie’s lips are rough yet smooth, hard yet gentle. His fingers are strong: I feel them in my hair and on my neck and down my arms and against my back. And I never want him to let me go. – Tabitha Suzuma • To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite. – Miguel de Cervantes • We all know the guy who sits at the end of the local bar telling the story of how he threw the winning touchdown pass in High School. I don’t want to be that guy. Racing gives us all the chance to be athletes again. – Don Panoz • We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they’re all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how. – John Hurt • We are all so immersed in our own technology bubbles that we’re ignoring so many important things. We’re all online arguing over nuance and nonsense, and everybody’s so incensed and upset about things that ultimately mean nothing while we are destroying our environment. While we’re racing towards Armageddon, we’re all online arguing about what Beyonce said at some award. – Rick Remender • We are the ones who take this thing called music and line it up with this thing called time. We are the ticking, we are the pulsing, we are underneath every part of this moment. And by making the moment our own, we are rendering it timeless. There is no audience. There are no instruments. There are only bodies and thoughts and murmurs and looks. It’s the concert rush to end all concert rushes, because this is what matters. When the heart races, this is what it’s racing towards. – Rachel Cohn • We’re all hoping to drop at least a few seconds in the finals. There’s a lot of girls that didn’t even swim this morning that will be racing us tonight, so we are going to be in the mindset that we are still just as fresh. – Brittany MacLean • What idiocy, to racing into this story and its labyrinths, sprinting away from our happiness among the fresh spring grasses by the oak. – Ian Mcewan • When I first started racing, my father said, “Win the race as slow as you can. – Richard Petty • When I started racing my father told me, ‘Cristiano, nobody has three balls but some people have two very good ones.’ – Cristiano da Matta • When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad’s Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis. – Danny Masterson • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a footballer and racing driver, like all kids. – Diego Della Valle • When the race to develop becomes more furious as the Championship progresses, the racing will get better too, improving the entire experience for the fans. – Sam Bird • When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough. – Ayrton Senna • When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. – Steve McQueen • While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors. – Percy Cerutty • You are always racing against the other swimmers, but I always try to just focus on what I’m doing and how I want to swim my races. – Katie Ledecky • You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that’s designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win. – Ayrton Senna • You know I have about the same interest in jewelry as I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry, and women who need weird excitement – none. – Cary Grant • You might not think that’s cricket, and it’s not, it���s motor racing. – Murray Walker

• A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries. – Will Rogers • A fantastic analogy for the power of focus is racing cars. When your car begins to skid, the natural reflex is to look at the wall in an attempt to avoid it. But if you keep focusing on what you fear, that’s exactly where you’ll end up. Professional racers know that we unconsciously steer in the direction of our focus, so with their lives on the line, they turn their focus away from the wall and towards the open track. – Tony Robbins • A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments. – Mario Andretti • A racing tipster who only reached Hitler’s level of accuracy would not do well for his clients. – A. J. P. Taylor • A recent conversation: Dubya: Look at the clock, time is racing! Cheney: That’s the second hand, George. – Dennis Miller • A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he i A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he is still racing. He is still alive – Garth Stein • After 20 years of racing career the most important lessons I learned is that you need to have the passion and really love to ride your bike every day at the highest level. Also, for me personally, my goal was to always try to beat another generation, to try to beat the sport again. Trying to develop myself even when I was 37 years old. – Sven Nys • Alcohol is for drinking, gas is for cleaning parts, and nitro is for racing! – Don Garlits • All of my free time is made up of motor sports endeavors, be them motorcycles or off-road racing or track days. I just love anything with an engine. That is one of my main loves. Obviously, my other well-known love is Kristen Bell. – Dax Shepard • All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Then man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. – George R. R. Martin • And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing. – Murray Walker • Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does. – Murray Walker • As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing. – Carlos Ghosn • At some point in every racer’s life he has to make his peace with cheating. I do not approve of cheating … at all. Of course, like every successful racer, I differentiate between taking advantage of loopholes in the regulations, stretching the grey areas and outright cheating. In any given racing series I will not start the cheating. If someone else starts it, I will appeal to them and to the officials to stop it. If my efforts do not succeed, then I’ll show them how it is done. – Carroll Smith • Auto racing began 5 minutes after the second car was built. – Henry Ford • Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down. – Dave Barry • Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports… all the others are games. – Ernest Hemingway

To remember is to disengage from the present. In order to reach any kind of success in automobile racing, a driver must never remember. – Garth Stein • Before I was an actor I was an apprentice jockey, and now I’m out there racing against boys, sort of the spokesperson for people over 50 that they can do it. – Davy Jones • Before she realized he was next to her, he had placed his hands over hers on the countertop, then hooped his fingers through hers. Gretel looked up at him, so startled she might as well have been shot. ‘I just wanted to wake you up’, he said. Which is exactly what he did. One look at him and her heart was racing. One look, and whatever had been before was all over. – Alice Hoffman • Boxing is not brutal, it’s an art – God has gifted me with incredible handspeed as a tool to be used – what else am I supposed to do but fight? There ain’t no hand-racing competitions. – Roy Jones Jr. • But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I’ve been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun. – Picabo Street • By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. – Ayrton Senna • Cam held her closer. “Marry me, Amelia. You’re what I want. You’re my fate.” One hand slid to the back of her head, gripping the braids and ribbons to keep her mouth upturned. “Say yes.” He nibbled at her lips, licked at them, opened them. He kissed her until she writhed in his arms, her pulse racing. “Say it, Amelia, and save me from ever having to spend a night with another woman. I’ll sleep indoors. I’ll get a haircut. God help me, I think I’d even carry a pocket watch if it pleased you. – Lisa Kleypas • Can you giggle while racing for your life and protecting a six-year-old? I can. – James Patterson • Chapel services on race day have a calming effect. It’s a nice time for us to worship and try to get the message and hear some music and have a little fellowship together before we get to racing. – Matt Kenseth • Daytona is a restrictor-plate race and, unlike Daytona, guys can’t get in a line at Phoenix and go to the front. Daytona and Talladega (Ala.) have always just been two different forms of racing. With the draft being so important at those two tracks, it’s more of a team deal than an individual deal. What happens at Phoenix and the races after that has to be done on your own. You can’t help each other at Phoenix. You just have to go race. – Tony Stewart • Different people have different reasons for racing, but one is simply the incentive to get out and run, increase mileage and feel good. – Hal Higdon • Driving a stock car does not require much handling ability, at least not as compared to Grand Prix racing, because the tracks are simple banked ovals and there is almost no shifting of gears. So, qualifying becomes a test of raw nerve – of how fast a man is willing to take a curve. – Tom Wolfe • Driving is something really special for me. Even women doesn’t excite me as much as racing cars! I guess I’m just becoming old. – Michele Alboreto • Each thing I do, I rush through so I can do something else. In such a way do the days pass – -a blend of stock car racing and the never ending building of a gothic cathedral. Through the windows of my speeding car I see all that I love falling away: books unread, jokes untold, landscapes unvisited. – Stephen Dobyns • Ever since I was a little kid, when I was racing motocross and stuff, it’s been a dream to ride for Red Bull someday. – Aaron Gwin • Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death. – Jean Cocteau • Everything we do needs to be geared toward making the sport [auto racing] more accessible to the fans – the rules of the sport, how the race plays itself out, how people qualify into the races – everything needs to be as easy to understand as possible. – Dale Earnhardt, Jr. • Finding a sponsor is the toughest part of racing, tougher than driving. – Shawna Robinson • Finishing races is important, but racing is more important. – Dale Earnhardt • For me, it really just feels calm. When you’re going fast on a downhill course, it’s typically where it’s wide open. I think it’s kind of like driving a car. If you’re going really fast and it’s straight, everything seems to slow down. In general, racing downhill involves bigger turns and everything sort of slows down and you have a lot of time to think. – Julia Mancuso • Get every candidate to wear a NASCAR racing suit when they go debate; this way we can see how their sponsors really are. – Jesse Ventura • God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will. – Helen Steiner Rice • Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie – those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running – the proverbial icing on the cake – has always been racing. – Bill Rodgers • Her heart was pounding impossibly fast. Then she realized She was feeling both of their hearts, racing each other. A kind of desperate conversation, one they couldn’t have with words. – Lauren Kate • Horse racing is waning in popularity. – Elayne Boosler • I am a racer. I’m not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That’s what I do. I don’t go on vacations. I don’t take my family on vacations because I don’t have a family. My family is the racing family. – Tony Stewart • I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It’s a great feeling to be back fighting for the title. – Valentino Rossi • I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing. – Mark Webber • I am not motivated by recognition, I just do things I like doing – racing, shagging, eating and drinking. – David Coulthard • I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver. – Niki Lauda • I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years. – Valentino Rossi • I believe that we have free will. I believe we get the chance to make choices in our lives. Not everything is set in stone from the moment we’re born. We choose our destiny, our ultimate fate. But I also think that we don’t realize the choices we’ve made until after we make them. We’re racing down a freeway, only to realize we’ve missed all the exits, and the only direction we can go is dead ahead. – Neal Shusterman • I can now officially to the wife “It’s work, darling” I have to watch racing. I have to watch every second. And actually, my wife who can’t stand racing has got into it and once she understood the politics it becomes more interesting for non-racing people I think. – Asif Kapadia • I come from an ordinary family – my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker – and we’ve always loved racing together. – Sebastian Vettel • I didn’t get into racing to make friends. – Jimmie Johnson • I didn’t miss out on a family life because of racing. I had one because of it. – Richard Petty • I don’t know if you’ve ever been skiing, but if you go to the slope you’ll see all these kids fearlessly zooming by. It’s only when we get older that fear creeps in. But for me, it just never has. And when it comes to racing, it’s always about who is willing to go further, who is willing to take that extra step. I’m willing to take any amount of pain to win. I’m hungry like you. – Lewis Hamilton • I don’t miss racing, but I miss the time to train every day, to do the workouts, because I’m busy with a lot of things now. But if I have space during my day, I want to have a good workout, because my main goal right now is to give all the experience I’ve had in my career back to young riders, to companies. – Sven Nys • I don’t put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously. – Bode Miller • I enjoy Saturday night racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can’t make your body move fast enough… But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn’t running for my life: I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today. – Stephenie Meyer • I had an opportunity to move to L.A. back in 1999 and start up a horse racing network of all things. At the time, I was younger and married but didn’t have kids; so we thought, Let’s just go to L.A. for a while and have fun, and we can always come home. One thing led to another; and once I was out there, I had my eyes opened to this other world and quickly got a home and gardens show and did a game show and then The Bachelor ended up falling into my lap in 2001. And ‘the rest is history’ as they say. – Chris Harrison • I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording. – Andrea Bocelli • I hung out with a lot of the riders to get their attitude and they’re all like men. Men among boys. They have a certain calm to them which is really impressive. They go out there and they’re racing 80 miles per hour, or jumping 60 foot jumps, I think they get all their adrenaline out. So during the day, they’re just quiet, aloof and stoic superheroes kinda, you know what I mean? They’re very, very respectful. It’s a very family oriented sport. Everybody knows everybody so there’s a lot of respect and understanding. – Steve Howey • I just bought a Lambourghini, I’m not even into racing with a windshield full of tickets cause I live right by the station. – Drake • I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing. – Major Taylor • I lean on a lot of drivers. I have a dirt racing background so I gravitate towards asking for advice from drivers who also dirt race, people like Clint Bowyer since dirt racers seem to have a similar driving style and like the car set up similarly. – Austin Dillon • I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse. – Juan Manuel Fangio • I like movies that are scary, but I don’t want them to be dirt dumb. I want a movie that gets my blood racing, makes me laugh, but also gives me something to think about, with maybe a little sexy thrown in. Hollywood doesn’t make movies like that. – Penn Jillette • I like racing but food and pictures are more thrilling. I can’t give them up. In racing you can be certain, to the last thousandth of a second, that someone is the best, but with a film or a recipe, there is no way of knowing how all the ingredients will work out in the end. The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking. – Paul Newman • I love F1, the cars and the speed. I love the race in Monaco for example, because there’s such a special atmosphere on the streets and also, the race is very technical. I’m a big racing fan in general, so I’d love to try the cars. – Michel Salgado • I love to feel a racing car around me, to feel the way it holds me. I love to make it do all that it was built to do, and then a little bit more. – Stirling Moss • I never collected cars as a financial thing; I wanted to go racing, so I chose the cars I wanted to go racing with. Like the Ferrari 250 GTO. I bought it because it absolutely fulfilled everything I wanted from a car. – Nick Mason • I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it – Connie Chung • I really don’t (stay calm) all the time. I just try to. Part of not just racing but in life, I try not to let the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I try to stay somewhere right in the middle. In racing it’s not always easy to do. You can get too excited or overconfident when things are going good and it’s easy to get too far in the ditch when things are going bad. – Matt Kenseth • I want to be up front racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I will continue to get behind the wheel of a racing car as long as I am able. But that could all end tomorrow. – Paul Newman • I’d just find a story in Canada and come and do it. Combine harvester banger – actually I’ve done that: banger racing up in Red Deer [in Alberta, for his 1998 doc series Extreme Machines]. – Jeremy Clarkson • If there’s anyone out there who has taken extreme to a new level, its Joe De Sena – in adventure racing, in business, and ultimately in the business of adventure! Spartan Up! is must-read. – Robyn Benincasa • If you don’t know where you’re going, stop racing to get there. — from Just Desert by M. T. Anderson – Chris Van Allsburg • If you spend all of your time racing ahead to the future, you’re liable to discover you’ve left a great present behind. – Tom Wilson • I’m a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I’m commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car. – Murray Walker • I’m way too old to change sports now. Sportsmen start so young – some of the ski jumpers we were talking to, they were jumping those giant ramps at nine years old. It’s definitely something they’ve dedicated their entire lives to, and that’s why they’re so good at it. I started racing when I was 11, so there are a lot of similarities there. They grow up as a kid, find something they are passionate about, and they continue to work at it to try to be the best they can be. – Martin Truex Jr. • In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life. – Lewis Hamilton • In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice. – Bobby Rahal • In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple. – Paul Newman • In racing, there is no question who is best – the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn’t going to like it, because it isn’t their style. Judging wine is very subjective. – Mario Andretti • In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle. – Garth Stein • In the early morning hours, Hannah read at the table by the dim light of dawn. She leaned in close to the pages, chin resting on her folded arms, eyes racing over the words, like chasing butterflies over the hills, to catch as many as she could before going to work. She wondered at how such tales of magic could be contained by mere paper and ink for her to read again and again. – Matthew J. Kirby • In the last three years of racing I’ve met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it’s the same thing. My wife loves cars, but the difference is she doesn’t have 20 years of understanding the background of them. She basically drives them and uses her gut feelings as to which is best. – Tim Allen • Ironman distance triathlons are a true test of oneself as a whole. Each race is a test of physical, mental and spiritual toughness that I haven’t found in any other type of racing. At the end of the day, challenging myself on all levels is what it’s about for me. – Timothy O’Donnell • It is a responsibility to be who you are and not let this sport [racing] change you and not let the good runs and success or the bad runs change you. You’ve got to be the same person all the time. – Trevor Bayne • It seems to me that oftentimes in young relationships once there’s a problem of some significance then it’s almost like they’re both racing for the dumper buzzer. – Daniel Handler • It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn’t enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem. – Niki Lauda • It’s basically the same, just darker. (on racing Saturday nights as opposed to Sunday afternoons, 1991 – Alan Kulwicki • It’s been a few days since I’ve seen my kids. My hearts racing; I can’t wait to hold them. This is just a glimpse into God’s heart at Mass. – Mark Hart • It’s great to learn more about sports I’m probably less familiar with – stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports – and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football. Sports is a way of life for billions of people around the planet. – Tom Brady • It’s the engine. They should have never had that. The biggest mistake people have made… I say, “people,” because it wasn’t just me alone, was not insisting Mercedes supply Red Bull an engine. Because had they supplied the same engine as they had, you would have seen good racing, you would have seen Red Bull up there last year. – Bernie Ecclestone • I’ve loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father. – Queen Latifah • I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car. – Nigel Mansell • Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver. – Jackie Stewart • Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.- Matt Groening • Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth. – Freeman Dyson • Millions of people are joined in the knowledge that writing brings insight and calm in the same way that prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the woods does. They have discovered that writing allows the racing mind to move at the pace of pen and paper or the pace of typing on the waiting screen – that journal writing is a spiritual practice. – Christina Baldwin • Money is how we keep the score in motor racing nowadays. – Colin Chapman • Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can’t figure out. – Will Rogers • Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: ‘Why am I racing?’ I race because I like it, because I’m really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I’m still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence. – Valentino Rossi • Motor Racing Outreach is great. They provide a chapel service every Sunday for drivers, wives, crew members, and others in the NASCAR industry so that we can gather and celebrate our faith. It’s important to me to have this time before the race on Sundays. They also provide other services such as at-track childcare and counseling. – Austin Dillon • Motor racing’s less of a sport these days than a commercial break doing 150 mph. – Peter Dunne • My father instilled in me a love for racing. – Kurt Busch • My focus is definitely on the racing. – Scott Dixon • My No. 1 goal in racing was never to be the most popular driver. – Brad Keselowski • My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I’d make a career in it but I never had any plan B. – Jenson Button • My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble. – Bill Rodgers • Okay. Then…I can talk. Ask me something.” “Okay.” He laughs shakily in my ear. “Why is your heart racing Tris?” I cringe and say, “Well, I…I barely know you. I barely know you and I’m crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?”… “Maybe you were cut out for Candor,” he says, “because you’re a terrible liar. – Veronica Roth • Our racing simulator is more about gathering data about the car, trying different setups, and trying to find speed in the actual racecar as opposed to speed in the actual driver. There’s no other way to get that kind of testing in, without doing the actual event, or getting outside and spending the money to make it happen. And it costs a lot to go to the racetrack. – Martin Truex Jr. • Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing. – Kurt Busch • Racing and hunting excite man’s heart to madness. – Laozi • Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face. – Jeremy Clarkson • Racing comes easily to me, especially the 100 metres. That is why, no matter how fast I run the run the 100 metres, the 200 will always mean more to me, because of the effort I’ve put in. – Usain Bolt • Racing drivers have balls, unfortunantly, none of them are crystal – David Coulthard • Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation. – Enzo Ferrari • Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife’s life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego. – Greg LeMond • Racing is bulging at the seams with pure nutball characters, men who can drink more, screw more, fight more, laugh more, joke more, than practically any collection of people in the world. – Brock Yates • Racing is dangerous, but I’ve been in a lot worse situations as a pipe fitter. – Neil Bonnett • Racing is in my blood, I can’t quite get out of it yet. – Dick Trickle • Racing is not football or baseball or basketball where you can do it yourself. If you’re good in high school, you just shine. (But in racing) you have to have a family behind you. – Trevor Bayne • Racing is not what I like to do; it’s winning. – Jeff Gordon • Racing is the constant search for the weakest link. – Duane Bailey • Racing is the fun part; it’s the reward of all the hard work. – Kara Goucher • Racing should never be an ordeal, rather an enjoyable and life-enhancing experience. – Bruce Fordyce • Rail is such an undignified way to travel. All that rapid racing about. Floating has so much more gravitas. – Gail Carriger • Road racing is rock ‘n roll; track is Carnegie Hall. – Marty Liquori • She felt as if she had been running, and had created a hill and was racing down the other side, and there was no stopping now. Gravity was taking her where she had to go. “But — everyone cares about something. Don’t they? – Cassandra Clare • Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it’d be quite hard to live with – so I need to keep racing. – Mark Webber • Slalom skiers train their whole lives for like a minute and a half. We’re not soccer or tennis players that can play the whole game. Once you’re in the World Cup, you’re physically prepared, so then ski racing almost always comes down to more mental than physical. I’ve been working on understanding that I’ve done everything that I can up until this point, and now I need to breathe and enjoy the moment, and do what I know I can do, versus trying to do more. Because you’re fighting to do more, but that doesn’t always work. – Resi Stiegler • Street circuits mean that we are racing in the centre of roads that people use everyday, which is very cool for drivers, but it also makes it very easy to make a mistake, which adds more excitement for fans. – Sam Bird • Tell me the word that will win you, and I will speak it. I will speak the stars of heaven into a crown for your head; I will speak the flowers of the field into a cloak; I will speak the racing stream into a melody for your ears and the voices of a thousand larks to sing it; I will speak the softness of night for your bed and the warmth of summer for your coverlet; I will speak the brightness of flame to light your way and the luster of gold to shine in your smile; I will speak until the hardness in you melts away and your heart is free. – Stephen R. Lawhead • That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life it. – Kara Goucher • The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they’ve got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It’s another one where we’re racing to save humanity. – Eric McCormack • The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it. – Hunter S. Thompson • The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one. – Junior Johnson • The builder of the best racing car is not necessarily its best driver. – Hans Selye • The competition is a big part of it [racing] – the passion you have for the sport and the knowledge you have. You’re not just going to wake up one day and say, ” think I’ll do something different.” This is what I’ve done my whole life. My competitive nature and my passion for the sport, those are the things that keep you wanting to do better. – Bobby Labonte • The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand. – Juan Manuel Fangio • The makeup of the drivers has changed a lot with so many young drivers coming and a lot of the legends moving on. Compared to when I started, it’s gone through a lot of changes. The cars have changed a lot and the approach to racing. There are a lot more employees. It’s become a much bigger business and more corporate. – Matt Kenseth • The number of people that can reason well is much smaller than those that can reason badly. If reasoning were like hauling rocks, then several reasoners might be better than one. But reasoning isn’t like hauling rocks, it’s like, it’s like racing, where a single, galloping Barbary steed easily outruns a hundred wagon-pulling horses. – Galileo Galilei • The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business. – John Steinbeck • The racing driver needs to be fed a diet of other racing drivers. – Carroll Smith • The rain’s been racing earthwards as if with some religious or political fanaticism. The clouds have the look of dark internal bleeding. Surely you lot look up from Cosmo while this sort of thing’s going on? Surely you take a Playstation break? – Glen Duncan • The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now – that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality. – Eckhart Tolle • The Showdown is a great way to bring attention to these historic Virginia tracks where many NASCAR drivers cut their teeth in stock car racing, including myself. Tracks like South Boston and Langley are the heart of the sport and draw a great crowd to our Showdown events. – Denny Hamlin • The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy. But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you. – Oprah Winfrey • The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing. – Lance Armstrong • There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. – Ernest Hemingway • There are those who keep out of mischief, and there are the adventurers, ‘ he said. “We racing drivers are adventurers; the more difficult something is, the greater the attraction that comes from it. – Juan Manuel Fangio • There is a sociology of horses, as well as a psychology. It is most evident in the world of horse racing, where many horses are gathered together, where year after year, decade after decade, they do the same, rather simple thing – run in races and try to win. – Jane Smiley • There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose. – Garth Stein • There is no doubt about precisely when folks began racing each other in automobiles. It was the day they built the second automobile. – Richard Petty • There’s a thrill when you steal something in plain view of other people. When you drop a newspaper over a sign and walk away with it, or take something off a wall and the sound of the glue ripping makes people turn around. Your heart is racing, it’s a rush. – George Carlin • There’s only one racing strategy that matters.It’s the one I run by: Get in the lead and don’t let anyone pass you. – Megan McCafferty • They watched storms out there so distant they could not be heard, the silent lightning flaring sheetwise and the thin black spine of the mountain chain fluttering and sucked away again in the dark. They saw wild horses racing on the plain, pounding their shadows down the night and- leaving in the moonlight a vaporous dust like the palest stain of their passing. – Cormac McCarthy • Time has stopped; time is racing. Lochie’s lips are rough yet smooth, hard yet gentle. His fingers are strong: I feel them in my hair and on my neck and down my arms and against my back. And I never want him to let me go. – Tabitha Suzuma • To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite. – Miguel de Cervantes • We all know the guy who sits at the end of the local bar telling the story of how he threw the winning touchdown pass in High School. I don’t want to be that guy. Racing gives us all the chance to be athletes again. – Don Panoz • We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they’re all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how. – John Hurt • We are all so immersed in our own technology bubbles that we’re ignoring so many important things. We’re all online arguing over nuance and nonsense, and everybody’s so incensed and upset about things that ultimately mean nothing while we are destroying our environment. While we’re racing towards Armageddon, we’re all online arguing about what Beyonce said at some award. – Rick Remender • We are the ones who take this thing called music and line it up with this thing called time. We are the ticking, we are the pulsing, we are underneath every part of this moment. And by making the moment our own, we are rendering it timeless. There is no audience. There are no instruments. There are only bodies and thoughts and murmurs and looks. It’s the concert rush to end all concert rushes, because this is what matters. When the heart races, this is what it’s racing towards. – Rachel Cohn • We’re all hoping to drop at least a few seconds in the finals. There’s a lot of girls that didn’t even swim this morning that will be racing us tonight, so we are going to be in the mindset that we are still just as fresh. – Brittany MacLean • What idiocy, to racing into this story and its labyrinths, sprinting away from our happiness among the fresh spring grasses by the oak. – Ian Mcewan • When I first started racing, my father said, “Win the race as slow as you can. – Richard Petty • When I started racing my father told me, ‘Cristiano, nobody has three balls but some people have two very good ones.’ – Cristiano da Matta • When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad’s Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis. – Danny Masterson • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a footballer and racing driver, like all kids. – Diego Della Valle • When the race to develop becomes more furious as the Championship progresses, the racing will get better too, improving the entire experience for the fans. – Sam Bird • When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough. – Ayrton Senna • When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. – Steve McQueen • While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors. – Percy Cerutty • You are always racing against the other swimmers, but I always try to just focus on what I’m doing and how I want to swim my races. – Katie Ledecky • You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that’s designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win. – Ayrton Senna • You know I have about the same interest in jewelry as I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry, and women who need weird excitement – none. – Cary Grant • You might not think that’s cricket, and it’s not, it’s motor racing. – Murray Walker

• A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries. – Will Rogers • A fantastic analogy for the power of focus is racing cars. When your car begins to skid, the natural reflex is to look at the wall in an attempt to avoid it. But if you keep focusing on what you fear, that’s exactly where you’ll end up. Professional racers know that we unconsciously steer in the direction of our focus, so with their lives on the line, they turn their focus away from the wall and towards the open track. – Tony Robbins • A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments. – Mario Andretti • A racing tipster who only reached Hitler’s level of accuracy would not do well for his clients. – A. J. P. Taylor • A recent conversation: Dubya: Look at the clock, time is racing! Cheney: That’s the second hand, George. – Dennis Miller • A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he i A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he is still racing. He is still alive – Garth Stein • After 20 years of racing career the most important lessons I learned is that you need to have the passion and really love to ride your bike every day at the highest level. Also, for me personally, my goal was to always try to beat another generation, to try to beat the sport again. Trying to develop myself even when I was 37 years old. – Sven Nys • Alcohol is for drinking, gas is for cleaning parts, and nitro is for racing! – Don Garlits • All of my free time is made up of motor sports endeavors, be them motorcycles or off-road racing or track days. I just love anything with an engine. That is one of my main loves. Obviously, my other well-known love is Kristen Bell. – Dax Shepard • All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Then man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. – George R. R. Martin • And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing. – Murray Walker • Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does. – Murray Walker • As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing. – Carlos Ghosn • At some point in every racer’s life he has to make his peace with cheating. I do not approve of cheating … at all. Of course, like every successful racer, I differentiate between taking advantage of loopholes in the regulations, stretching the grey areas and outright cheating. In any given racing series I will not start the cheating. If someone else starts it, I will appeal to them and to the officials to stop it. If my efforts do not succeed, then I’ll show them how it is done. – Carroll Smith • Auto racing began 5 minutes after the second car was built. – Henry Ford • Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down. – Dave Barry • Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports… all the others are games. – Ernest Hemingway

To remember is to disengage from the present. In order to reach any kind of success in automobile racing, a driver must never remember. – Garth Stein • Before I was an actor I was an apprentice jockey, and now I’m out there racing against boys, sort of the spokesperson for people over 50 that they can do it. – Davy Jones • Before she realized he was next to her, he had placed his hands over hers on the countertop, then hooped his fingers through hers. Gretel looked up at him, so startled she might as well have been shot. ‘I just wanted to wake you up’, he said. Which is exactly what he did. One look at him and her heart was racing. One look, and whatever had been before was all over. – Alice Hoffman • Boxing is not brutal, it’s an art – God has gifted me with incredible handspeed as a tool to be used – what else am I supposed to do but fight? There ain’t no hand-racing competitions. – Roy Jones Jr. • But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I’ve been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun. – Picabo Street • By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. – Ayrton Senna • Cam held her closer. “Marry me, Amelia. You’re what I want. You’re my fate.” One hand slid to the back of her head, gripping the braids and ribbons to keep her mouth upturned. “Say yes.” He nibbled at her lips, licked at them, opened them. He kissed her until she writhed in his arms, her pulse racing. “Say it, Amelia, and save me from ever having to spend a night with another woman. I’ll sleep indoors. I’ll get a haircut. God help me, I think I’d even carry a pocket watch if it pleased you. – Lisa Kleypas • Can you giggle while racing for your life and protecting a six-year-old? I can. – James Patterson • Chapel services on race day have a calming effect. It’s a nice time for us to worship and try to get the message and hear some music and have a little fellowship together before we get to racing. – Matt Kenseth • Daytona is a restrictor-plate race and, unlike Daytona, guys can’t get in a line at Phoenix and go to the front. Daytona and Talladega (Ala.) have always just been two different forms of racing. With the draft being so important at those two tracks, it’s more of a team deal than an individual deal. What happens at Phoenix and the races after that has to be done on your own. You can’t help each other at Phoenix. You just have to go race. – Tony Stewart • Different people have different reasons for racing, but one is simply the incentive to get out and run, increase mileage and feel good. – Hal Higdon • Driving a stock car does not require much handling ability, at least not as compared to Grand Prix racing, because the tracks are simple banked ovals and there is almost no shifting of gears.

Even women doesn’t excite me as much as racing cars! I guess I’m just becoming old. – Michele Alboreto • Each thing I do, I rush through so I can do something else.

Through the windows of my speeding car I see all that I love falling away: books unread, jokes untold, landscapes unvisited. – Stephen Dobyns • Ever since I was a little kid, when I was racing motocross and stuff, it’s been a dream to ride for Red Bull someday. – Aaron Gwin • Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death. – Jean Cocteau • Everything we do needs to be geared toward making the sport [auto racing] more accessible to the fans – the rules of the sport, how the race plays itself out, how people qualify into the races – everything needs to be as easy to understand as possible. – Dale Earnhardt, Jr. • Finding a sponsor is the toughest part of racing, tougher than driving. – Shawna Robinson • Finishing races is important, but racing is more important. – Dale Earnhardt • For me, it really just feels calm. When you’re going fast on a downhill course, it’s typically where it’s wide open. I think it’s kind of like driving a car. If you’re going really fast and it’s straight, everything seems to slow down. In general, racing downhill involves bigger turns and everything sort of slows down and you have a lot of time to think. – Julia Mancuso • Get every candidate to wear a NASCAR racing suit when they go debate; this way we can see how their sponsors really are. – Jesse Ventura • God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will. – Helen Steiner Rice • Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie – those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running – the proverbial icing on the cake – has always been racing. – Bill Rodgers • Her heart was pounding impossibly fast. Then she realized She was feeling both of their hearts, racing each other. A kind of desperate conversation, one they couldn’t have with words. – Lauren Kate • Horse racing is waning in popularity. – Elayne Boosler • I am a racer. I’m not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That’s what I do. I don’t go on vacations. I don’t take my family on vacations because I don’t have a family. My family is the racing family. – Tony Stewart • I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It’s a great feeling to be back fighting for the title. – Valentino Rossi • I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing. – Mark Webber • I am not motivated by recognition, I just do things I like doing – racing, shagging, eating and drinking. – David Coulthard • I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver. – Niki Lauda • I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years. – Valentino Rossi • I believe that we have free will. I believe we get the chance to make choices in our lives. Not everything is set in stone from the moment we’re born. We choose our destiny, our ultimate fate. But I also think that we don’t realize the choices we’ve made until after we make them. We’re racing down a freeway, only to realize we’ve missed all the exits, and the only direction we can go is dead ahead. – Neal Shusterman • I can now officially to the wife “It’s work, darling” I have to watch racing. I have to watch every second. And actually, my wife who can’t stand racing has got into it and once she understood the politics it becomes more interesting for non-racing people I think. – Asif Kapadia • I come from an ordinary family – my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker – and we’ve always loved racing together. – Sebastian Vettel • I didn’t get into racing to make friends. – Jimmie Johnson • I didn’t miss out on a family life because of racing. I had one because of it. – Richard Petty • I don’t know if you’ve ever been skiing, but if you go to the slope you’ll see all these kids fearlessly zooming by. It’s only when we get older that fear creeps in. But for me, it just never has. And when it comes to racing, it’s always about who is willing to go further, who is willing to take that extra step. I’m willing to take any amount of pain to win. I’m hungry like you. – Lewis Hamilton • I don’t miss racing, but I miss the time to train every day, to do the workouts, because I’m busy with a lot of things now. But if I have space during my day, I want to have a good workout, because my main goal right now is to give all the experience I’ve had in my career back to young riders, to companies. – Sven Nys • I don’t put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously. – Bode Miller • I enjoy Saturday night racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can’t make your body move fast enough… But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn’t running for my life: I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today. – Stephenie Meyer • I had an opportunity to move to L.A. back in 1999 and start up a horse racing network of all things. At the time, I was younger and married but didn’t have kids; so we thought, Let’s just go to L.A. for a while and have fun, and we can always come home. One thing led to another; and once I was out there, I had my eyes opened to this other world and quickly got a home and gardens show and did a game show and then The Bachelor ended up falling into my lap in 2001. And ‘the rest is history’ as they say. – Chris Harrison • I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording. – Andrea Bocelli • I hung out with a lot of the riders to get their attitude and they’re all like men. Men among boys. They have a certain calm to them which is really impressive. They go out there and they’re racing 80 miles per hour, or jumping 60 foot jumps, I think they get all their adrenaline out. So during the day, they’re just quiet, aloof and stoic superheroes kinda, you know what I mean? They’re very, very respectful. It’s a very family oriented sport. Everybody knows everybody so there’s a lot of respect and understanding. – Steve Howey • I just bought a Lambourghini, I’m not even into racing with a windshield full of tickets cause I live right by the station. – Drake • I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing. – Major Taylor • I lean on a lot of drivers. I have a dirt racing background so I gravitate towards asking for advice from drivers who also dirt race, people like Clint Bowyer since dirt racers seem to have a similar driving style and like the car set up similarly. – Austin Dillon • I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse. – Juan Manuel Fangio • I like movies that are scary, but I don’t want them to be dirt dumb. I want a movie that gets my blood racing, makes me laugh, but also gives me something to think about, with maybe a little sexy thrown in. Hollywood doesn’t make movies like that. – Penn Jillette • I like racing but food and pictures are more thrilling. I can’t give them up. In racing you can be certain, to the last thousandth of a second, that someone is the best, but with a film or a recipe, there is no way of knowing how all the ingredients will work out in the end. The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking. – Paul Newman • I love F1, the cars and the speed. I love the race in Monaco for example, because there’s such a special atmosphere on the streets and also, the race is very technical. I’m a big racing fan in general, so I’d love to try the cars. – Michel Salgado • I love to feel a racing car around me, to feel the way it holds me. I love to make it do all that it was built to do, and then a little bit more. – Stirling Moss • I never collected cars as a financial thing; I wanted to go racing, so I chose the cars I wanted to go racing with. Like the Ferrari 250 GTO. I bought it because it absolutely fulfilled everything I wanted from a car. – Nick Mason • I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it – Connie Chung • I really don’t (stay calm) all the time. I just try to. Part of not just racing but in life, I try not to let the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I try to stay somewhere right in the middle. In racing it’s not always easy to do. You can get too excited or overconfident when things are going good and it’s easy to get too far in the ditch when things are going bad. – Matt Kenseth • I want to be up front racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I will continue to get behind the wheel of a racing car as long as I am able. But that could all end tomorrow. – Paul Newman • I’d just find a story in Canada and come and do it. Combine harvester banger – actually I’ve done that: banger racing up in Red Deer [in Alberta, for his 1998 doc series Extreme Machines]. – Jeremy Clarkson • If there’s anyone out there who has taken extreme to a new level, its Joe De Sena – in adventure racing, in business, and ultimately in the business of adventure! Spartan Up! is must-read. – Robyn Benincasa • If you don’t know where you’re going, stop racing to get there. — from Just Desert by M. T. Anderson – Chris Van Allsburg • If you spend all of your time racing ahead to the future, you’re liable to discover you’ve left a great present behind. – Tom Wilson • I’m a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I’m commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car. – Murray Walker • I’m way too old to change sports now. Sportsmen start so young – some of the ski jumpers we were talking to, they were jumping those giant ramps at nine years old. It’s definitely something they’ve dedicated their entire lives to, and that’s why they’re so good at it. I started racing when I was 11, so there are a lot of similarities there. They grow up as a kid, find something they are passionate about, and they continue to work at it to try to be the best they can be. – Martin Truex Jr. • In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life. – Lewis Hamilton • In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice. – Bobby Rahal • In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple. – Paul Newman • In racing, there is no question who is best – the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn’t going to like it, because it isn’t their style. Judging wine is very subjective. – Mario Andretti • In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle. – Garth Stein • In the early morning hours, Hannah read at the table by the dim light of dawn. She leaned in close to the pages, chin resting on her folded arms, eyes racing over the words, like chasing butterflies over the hills, to catch as many as she could before going to work. She wondered at how such tales of magic could be contained by mere paper and ink for her to read again and again. – Matthew J. Kirby • In the last three years of racing I’ve met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it’s the same thing. My wife loves cars, but the difference is she doesn’t have 20 years of understanding the background of them. She basically drives them and uses her gut feelings as to which is best. – Tim Allen • Ironman distance triathlons are a true test of oneself as a whole. Each race is a test of physical, mental and spiritual toughness that I haven’t found in any other type of racing. At the end of the day, challenging myself on all levels is what it’s about for me. – Timothy O’Donnell • It is a responsibility to be who you are and not let this sport [racing] change you and not let the good runs and success or the bad runs change you. You’ve got to be the same person all the time. – Trevor Bayne • It seems to me that oftentimes in young relationships once there’s a problem of some significance then it’s almost like they’re both racing for the dumper buzzer. – Daniel Handler • It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn’t enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem. – Niki Lauda • It’s basically the same, just darker. (on racing Saturday nights as opposed to Sunday afternoons, 1991 – Alan Kulwicki • It’s been a few days since I’ve seen my kids. My hearts racing; I can’t wait to hold them. This is just a glimpse into God’s heart at Mass. – Mark Hart • It’s great to learn more about sports I’m probably less familiar with – stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports – and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football. Sports is a way of life for billions of people around the planet. – Tom Brady • It’s the engine. They should have never had that. The biggest mistake people have made… I say, “people,” because it wasn’t just me alone, was not insisting Mercedes supply Red Bull an engine. Because had they supplied the same engine as they had, you would have seen good racing, you would have seen Red Bull up there last year. – Bernie Ecclestone • I’ve loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father. – Queen Latifah • I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car. – Nigel Mansell • Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver. – Jackie Stewart • Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.- Matt Groening • Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth. – Freeman Dyson • Millions of people are joined in the knowledge that writing brings insight and calm in the same way that prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the woods does. They have discovered that writing allows the racing mind to move at the pace of pen and paper or the pace of typing on the waiting screen – that journal writing is a spiritual practice. – Christina Baldwin • Money is how we keep the score in motor racing nowadays. – Colin Chapman • Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can’t figure out. – Will Rogers • Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: ‘Why am I racing?’ I race because I like it, because I’m really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I’m still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence. – Valentino Rossi • Motor Racing Outreach is great. They provide a chapel service every Sunday for drivers, wives, crew members, and others in the NASCAR industry so that we can gather and celebrate our faith. It’s important to me to have this time before the race on Sundays. They also provide other services such as at-track childcare and counseling. – Austin Dillon • Motor racing’s less of a sport these days than a commercial break doing 150 mph. – Peter Dunne • My father instilled in me a love for racing. – Kurt Busch • My focus is definitely on the racing. – Scott Dixon • My No. 1 goal in racing was never to be the most popular driver. – Brad Keselowski • My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I’d make a career in it but I never had any plan B. – Jenson Button • My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble. – Bill Rodgers • Okay. Then…I can talk. Ask me something.” “Okay.” He laughs shakily in my ear. “Why is your heart racing Tris?” I cringe and say, “Well, I…I barely know you. I barely know you and I’m crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?”… “Maybe you were cut out for Candor,” he says, “because you’re a terrible liar. – Veronica Roth • Our racing simulator is more about gathering data about the car, trying different setups, and trying to find speed in the actual racecar as opposed to speed in the actual driver. There’s no other way to get that kind of testing in, without doing the actual event, or getting outside and spending the money to make it happen. And it costs a lot to go to the racetrack. – Martin Truex Jr. • Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing. – Kurt Busch • Racing and hunting excite man’s heart to madness. – Laozi • Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face. – Jeremy Clarkson • Racing comes easily to me, especially the 100 metres. That is why, no matter how fast I run the run the 100 metres, the 200 will always mean more to me, because of the effort I’ve put in. – Usain Bolt • Racing drivers have balls, unfortunantly, none of them are crystal – David Coulthard • Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation. – Enzo Ferrari • Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife’s life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego. – Greg LeMond • Racing is bulging at the seams with pure nutball characters, men who can drink more, screw more, fight more, laugh more, joke more, than practically any collection of people in the world. – Brock Yates • Racing is dangerous, but I’ve been in a lot worse situations as a pipe fitter. – Neil Bonnett • Racing is in my blood, I can’t quite get out of it yet. – Dick Trickle • Racing is not football or baseball or basketball where you can do it yourself. If you’re good in high school, you just shine. (But in racing) you have to have a family behind you. – Trevor Bayne • Racing is not what I like to do; it’s winning. – Jeff Gordon • Racing is the constant search for the weakest link. – Duane Bailey • Racing is the fun part; it’s the reward of all the hard work. – Kara Goucher • Racing should never be an ordeal, rather an enjoyable and life-enhancing experience. – Bruce Fordyce • Rail is such an undignified way to travel. All that rapid racing about. Floating has so much more gravitas. – Gail Carriger • Road racing is rock ‘n roll; track is Carnegie Hall. – Marty Liquori • She felt as if she had been running, and had created a hill and was racing down the other side, and there was no stopping now. Gravity was taking her where she had to go. “But — everyone cares about something. Don’t they? – Cassandra Clare • Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it’d be quite hard to live with – so I need to keep racing. – Mark Webber • Slalom skiers train their whole lives for like a minute and a half. We’re not soccer or tennis players that can play the whole game. Once you’re in the World Cup, you’re physically prepared, so then ski racing almost always comes down to more mental than physical. I’ve been working on understanding that I’ve done everything that I can up until this point, and now I need to breathe and enjoy the moment, and do what I know I can do, versus trying to do more. Because you’re fighting to do more, but that doesn’t always work. – Resi Stiegler • Street circuits mean that we are racing in the centre of roads that people use everyday, which is very cool for drivers, but it also makes it very easy to make a mistake, which adds more excitement for fans. – Sam Bird • Tell me the word that will win you, and I will speak it. I will speak the stars of heaven into a crown for your head; I will speak the flowers of the field into a cloak; I will speak the racing stream into a melody for your ears and the voices of a thousand larks to sing it; I will speak the softness of night for your bed and the warmth of summer for your coverlet; I will speak the brightness of flame to light your way and the luster of gold to shine in your smile; I will speak until the hardness in you melts away and your heart is free. – Stephen R. Lawhead • That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life it. – Kara Goucher • The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they’ve got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It’s another one where we’re racing to save humanity. – Eric McCormack • The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it. – Hunter S. Thompson • The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one. – Junior Johnson • The builder of the best racing car is not necessarily its best driver. – Hans Selye • The competition is a big part of it [racing] – the passion you have for the sport and the knowledge you have. You’re not just going to wake up one day and say, ” think I’ll do something different.” This is what I’ve done my whole life. My competitive nature and my passion for the sport, those are the things that keep you wanting to do better. – Bobby Labonte • The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand. – Juan Manuel Fangio • The makeup of the drivers has changed a lot with so many young drivers coming and a lot of the legends moving on. Compared to when I started, it’s gone through a lot of changes. The cars have changed a lot and the approach to racing. There are a lot more employees. It’s become a much bigger business and more corporate. – Matt Kenseth • The number of people that can reason well is much smaller than those that can reason badly. If reasoning were like hauling rocks, then several reasoners might be better than one. But reasoning isn’t like hauling rocks, it’s like, it’s like racing, where a single, galloping Barbary steed easily outruns a hundred wagon-pulling horses. – Galileo Galilei • The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business. – John Steinbeck • The racing driver needs to be fed a diet of other racing drivers. – Carroll Smith • The rain’s been racing earthwards as if with some religious or political fanaticism. The clouds have the look of dark internal bleeding. Surely you lot look up from Cosmo while this sort of thing’s going on? Surely you take a Playstation break? – Glen Duncan • The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now – that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality. – Eckhart Tolle • The Showdown is a great way to bring attention to these historic Virginia tracks where many NASCAR drivers cut their teeth in stock car racing, including myself. Tracks like South Boston and Langley are the heart of the sport and draw a great crowd to our Showdown events. – Denny Hamlin • The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy. But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you. – Oprah Winfrey • The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing. – Lance Armstrong • There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. – Ernest Hemingway • There are those who keep out of mischief, and there are the adventurers, ‘ he said. “We racing drivers are adventurers; the more difficult something is, the greater the attraction that comes from it. – Juan Manuel Fangio • There is a sociology of horses, as well as a psychology. It is most evident in the world of horse racing, where many horses are gathered together, where year after year, decade after decade, they do the same, rather simple thing – run in races and try to win. – Jane Smiley • There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose. – Garth Stein • There is no doubt about precisely when folks began racing each other in automobiles. It was the day they built the second automobile. – Richard Petty • There’s a thrill when you steal something in plain view of other people. When you drop a newspaper over a sign and walk away with it, or take something off a wall and the sound of the glue ripping makes people turn around. Your heart is racing, it’s a rush. – George Carlin • There’s only one racing strategy that matters.It’s the one I run by: Get in the lead and don’t let anyone pass you. – Megan McCafferty • They watched storms out there so distant they could not be heard, the silent lightning flaring sheetwise and the thin black spine of the mountain chain fluttering and sucked away again in the dark. They saw wild horses racing on the plain, pounding their shadows down the night and- leaving in the moonlight a vaporous dust like the palest stain of their passing. – Cormac McCarthy • Time has stopped; time is racing. Lochie’s lips are rough yet smooth, hard yet gentle. His fingers are strong: I feel them in my hair and on my neck and down my arms and against my back. And I never want him to let me go. – Tabitha Suzuma • To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite. – Miguel de Cervantes • We all know the guy who sits at the end of the local bar telling the story of how he threw the winning touchdown pass in High School. I don’t want to be that guy. Racing gives us all the chance to be athletes again. – Don Panoz • We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they’re all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how. – John Hurt • We are all so immersed in our own technology bubbles that we’re ignoring so many important things. We’re all online arguing over nuance and nonsense, and everybody’s so incensed and upset about things that ultimately mean nothing while we are destroying our environment. While we’re racing towards Armageddon, we’re all online arguing about what Beyonce said at some award. – Rick Remender • We are the ones who take this thing called music and line it up with this thing called time. We are the ticking, we are the pulsing, we are underneath every part of this moment. And by making the moment our own, we are rendering it timeless. There is no audience. There are no instruments. There are only bodies and thoughts and murmurs and looks. It’s the concert rush to end all concert rushes, because this is what matters. When the heart races, this is what it’s racing towards. – Rachel Cohn • We’re all hoping to drop at least a few seconds in the finals. There’s a lot of girls that didn’t even swim this morning that will be racing us tonight, so we are going to be in the mindset that we are still just as fresh. – Brittany MacLean • What idiocy, to racing into this story and its labyrinths, sprinting away from our happiness among the fresh spring grasses by the oak. – Ian Mcewan • When I first started racing, my father said, “Win the race as slow as you can. – Richard Petty • When I started racing my father told me, ‘Cristiano, nobody has three balls but some people have two very good ones.’ – Cristiano da Matta • When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad’s Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis. – Danny Masterson • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a footballer and racing driver, like all kids. – Diego Della Valle • When the race to develop becomes more furious as the Championship progresses, the racing will get better too, improving the entire experience for the fans. – Sam Bird • When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough. – Ayrton Senna • When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. – Steve McQueen • While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors. – Percy Cerutty • You are always racing against the other swimmers, but I always try to just focus on what I’m doing and how I want to swim my races. – Katie Ledecky • You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that’s designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win. – Ayrton Senna • You know I have about the same interest in jewelry as I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry, and women who need weird excitement – none. – Cary Grant • You might not think that’s cricket, and it’s not, it’s motor racing. – Murray Walker

• A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries. – Will Rogers • A fantastic analogy for the power of focus is racing cars. When your car begins to skid, the natural reflex is to look at the wall in an attempt to avoid it. But if you keep focusing on what you fear, that’s exactly where you’ll end up. Professional racers know that we unconsciously steer in the direction of our focus, so with their lives on the line, they turn their focus away from the wall and towards the open track. – Tony Robbins • A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments. – Mario Andretti • A racing tipster who only reached Hitler’s level of accuracy would not do well for his clients. – A. J. P. Taylor • A recent conversation: Dubya: Look at the clock, time is racing! Cheney: That’s the second hand, George. – Dennis Miller • A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he i A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he is still racing. He is still alive – Garth Stein • After 20 years of racing career the most important lessons I learned is that you need to have the passion and really love to ride your bike every day at the highest level. Also, for me personally, my goal was to always try to beat another generation, to try to beat the sport again. Trying to develop myself even when I was 37 years old. – Sven Nys • Alcohol is for drinking, gas is for cleaning parts, and nitro is for racing! – Don Garlits • All of my free time is made up of motor sports endeavors, be them motorcycles or off-road racing or track days. I just love anything with an engine. That is one of my main loves. Obviously, my other well-known love is Kristen Bell. – Dax Shepard • All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Then man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. – George R. R. Martin • And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing. – Murray Walker • Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does. – Murray Walker • As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing. – Carlos Ghosn • At some point in every racer’s life he has to make his peace with cheating. I do not approve of cheating … at all. Of course, like every successful racer, I differentiate between taking advantage of loopholes in the regulations, stretching the grey areas and outright cheating. In any given racing series I will not start the cheating. If someone else starts it, I will appeal to them and to the officials to stop it. If my efforts do not succeed, then I’ll show them how it is done. – Carroll Smith • Auto racing began 5 minutes after the second car was built. – Henry Ford • Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down. – Dave Barry • Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports… all the others are games. – Ernest Hemingway

To remember is to disengage from the present. In order to reach any kind of success in automobile racing, a driver must never remember. – Garth Stein • Before I was an actor I was an apprentice jockey, and now I’m out there racing against boys, sort of the spokesperson for people over 50 that they can do it. – Davy Jones • Before she realized he was next to her, he had placed his hands over hers on the countertop, then hooped his fingers through hers. Gretel looked up at him, so startled she might as well have been shot. ‘I just wanted to wake you up’, he said. Which is exactly what he did. One look at him and her heart was racing. One look, and whatever had been before was all over. – Alice Hoffman • Boxing is not brutal, it’s an art – God has gifted me with incredible handspeed as a tool to be used – what else am I supposed to do but fight? There ain’t no hand-racing competitions. – Roy Jones Jr. • But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I’ve been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun. – Picabo Street • By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. – Ayrton Senna • Cam held her closer. “Marry me, Amelia. You’re what I want. You’re my fate.” One hand slid to the back of her head, gripping the braids and ribbons to keep her mouth upturned. “Say yes.” He nibbled at her lips, licked at them, opened them. He kissed her until she writhed in his arms, her pulse racing. “Say it, Amelia, and save me from ever having to spend a night with another woman. I’ll sleep indoors. I’ll get a haircut. God help me, I think I’d even carry a pocket watch if it pleased you. – Lisa Kleypas • Can you giggle while racing for your life and protecting a six-year-old? I can. – James Patterson • Chapel services on race day have a calming effect. It’s a nice time for us to worship and try to get the message and hear some music and have a little fellowship together before we get to racing. – Matt Kenseth • Daytona is a restrictor-plate race and, unlike Daytona, guys can’t get in a line at Phoenix and go to the front. Daytona and Talladega (Ala.) have always just been two different forms of racing. With the draft being so important at those two tracks, it’s more of a team deal than an individual deal. What happens at Phoenix and the races after that has to be done on your own. You can’t help each other at Phoenix. You just have to go race. – Tony Stewart • Different people have different reasons for racing, but one is simply the incentive to get out and run, increase mileage and feel good. – Hal Higdon • Driving a stock car does not require much handling ability, at least not as compared to Grand Prix racing, because the tracks are simple banked ovals and there is almost no shifting of gears. So, qualifying becomes a test of raw nerve – of how fast a man is willing to take a curve. – Tom Wolfe • Driving is something really special for me. Even women doesn’t excite me as much as racing cars! I guess I’m just becoming old. – Michele Alboreto • Each thing I do, I rush through so I can do something else. In such a way do the days pass – -a blend of stock car racing and the never ending building of a gothic cathedral. Through the windows of my speeding car I see all that I love falling away: books unread, jokes untold, landscapes unvisited. – Stephen Dobyns • Ever since I was a little kid, when I was racing motocross and stuff, it’s been a dream to ride for Red Bull someday. – Aaron Gwin • Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death. – Jean Cocteau • Everything we do needs to be geared toward making the sport [auto racing] more accessible to the fans – the rules of the sport, how the race plays itself out, how people qualify into the races – everything needs to be as easy to understand as possible. – Dale Earnhardt, Jr. • Finding a sponsor is the toughest part of racing, tougher than driving. – Shawna Robinson • Finishing races is important, but racing is more important. – Dale Earnhardt • For me, it really just feels calm. When you’re going fast on a downhill course, it’s typically where it’s wide open. I think it’s kind of like driving a car. If you’re going really fast and it’s straight, everything seems to slow down. In general, racing downhill involves bigger turns and everything sort of slows down and you have a lot of time to think. – Julia Mancuso • Get every candidate to wear a NASCAR racing suit when they go debate; this way we can see how their sponsors really are. – Jesse Ventura • God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will. – Helen Steiner Rice • Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie – those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running – the proverbial icing on the cake – has always been racing. – Bill Rodgers • Her heart was pounding impossibly fast. Then she realized She was feeling both of their hearts, racing each other. A kind of desperate conversation, one they couldn’t have with words. – Lauren Kate • Horse racing is waning in popularity. – Elayne Boosler • I am a racer. I’m not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That’s what I do. I don’t go on vacations. I don’t take my family on vacations because I don’t have a family. My family is the racing family. – Tony Stewart • I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It’s a great feeling to be back fighting for the title. – Valentino Rossi • I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing. – Mark Webber • I am not motivated by recognition, I just do things I like doing – racing, shagging, eating and drinking. – David Coulthard • I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver. – Niki Lauda • I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years. – Valentino Rossi • I believe that we have free will. I believe we get the chance to make choices in our lives. Not everything is set in stone from the moment we’re born. We choose our destiny, our ultimate fate. But I also think that we don’t realize the choices we’ve made until after we make them. We’re racing down a freeway, only to realize we’ve missed all the exits, and the only direction we can go is dead ahead. – Neal Shusterman • I can now officially to the wife “It’s work, darling” I have to watch racing. I have to watch every second. And actually, my wife who can’t stand racing has got into it and once she understood the politics it becomes more interesting for non-racing people I think. – Asif Kapadia • I come from an ordinary family – my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker – and we’ve always loved racing together. – Sebastian Vettel • I didn’t get into racing to make friends. – Jimmie Johnson • I didn’t miss out on a family life because of racing. I had one because of it. – Richard Petty • I don’t know if you’ve ever been skiing, but if you go to the slope you’ll see all these kids fearlessly zooming by. It’s only when we get older that fear creeps in. But for me, it just never has. And when it comes to racing, it’s always about who is willing to go further, who is willing to take that extra step. I’m willing to take any amount of pain to win. I’m hungry like you. – Lewis Hamilton • I don’t miss racing, but I miss the time to train every day, to do the workouts, because I’m busy with a lot of things now. But if I have space during my day, I want to have a good workout, because my main goal right now is to give all the experience I’ve had in my career back to young riders, to companies. – Sven Nys • I don’t put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously. – Bode Miller • I enjoy Saturday night racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can’t make your body move fast enough… But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn’t running for my life: I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today. – Stephenie Meyer • I had an opportunity to move to L.A. back in 1999 and start up a horse racing network of all things. At the time, I was younger and married but didn’t have kids; so we thought, Let’s just go to L.A. for a while and have fun, and we can always come home. One thing led to another; and once I was out there, I had my eyes opened to this other world and quickly got a home and gardens show and did a game show and then The Bachelor ended up falling into my lap in 2001. And ‘the rest is history’ as they say. – Chris Harrison • I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording. – Andrea Bocelli • I hung out with a lot of the riders to get their attitude and they’re all like men. Men among boys. They have a certain calm to them which is really impressive. They go out there and they’re racing 80 miles per hour, or jumping 60 foot jumps, I think they get all their adrenaline out. So during the day, they’re just quiet, aloof and stoic superheroes kinda, you know what I mean? They’re very, very respectful. It’s a very family oriented sport. Everybody knows everybody so there’s a lot of respect and understanding. – Steve Howey • I just bought a Lambourghini, I’m not even into racing with a windshield full of tickets cause I live right by the station. – Drake • I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing. – Major Taylor • I lean on a lot of drivers. I have a dirt racing background so I gravitate towards asking for advice from drivers who also dirt race, people like Clint Bowyer since dirt racers seem to have a similar driving style and like the car set up similarly. – Austin Dillon • I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse. – Juan Manuel Fangio • I like movies that are scary, but I don’t want them to be dirt dumb. I want a movie that gets my blood racing, makes me laugh, but also gives me something to think about, with maybe a little sexy thrown in. Hollywood doesn’t make movies like that. – Penn Jillette • I like racing but food and pictures are more thrilling. I can’t give them up. In racing you can be certain, to the last thousandth of a second, that someone is the best, but with a film or a recipe, there is no way of knowing how all the ingredients will work out in the end. The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking. – Paul Newman • I love F1, the cars and the speed. I love the race in Monaco for example, because there’s such a special atmosphere on the streets and also, the race is very technical. I’m a big racing fan in general, so I’d love to try the cars. – Michel Salgado • I love to feel a racing car around me, to feel the way it holds me. I love to make it do all that it was built to do, and then a little bit more. – Stirling Moss • I never collected cars as a financial thing; I wanted to go racing, so I chose the cars I wanted to go racing with. Like the Ferrari 250 GTO. I bought it because it absolutely fulfilled everything I wanted from a car. – Nick Mason • I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it – Connie Chung • I really don’t (stay calm) all the time. I just try to. Part of not just racing but in life, I try not to let the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I try to stay somewhere right in the middle. In racing it’s not always easy to do. You can get too excited or overconfident when things are going good and it’s easy to get too far in the ditch when things are going bad. – Matt Kenseth • I want to be up front racing. – Dale Earnhardt • I will continue to get behind the wheel of a racing car as long as I am able. But that could all end tomorrow. – Paul Newman • I’d just find a story in Canada and come and do it. Combine harvester banger – actually I’ve done that: banger racing up in Red Deer [in Alberta, for his 1998 doc series Extreme Machines]. – Jeremy Clarkson • If there’s anyone out there who has taken extreme to a new level, its Joe De Sena – in adventure racing, in business, and ultimately in the business of adventure! Spartan Up! is must-read. – Robyn Benincasa • If you don’t know where you’re going, stop racing to get there. — from Just Desert by M. T. Anderson – Chris Van Allsburg • If you spend all of your time racing ahead to the future, you’re liable to discover you’ve left a great present behind. – Tom Wilson • I’m a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I’m commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car. – Murray Walker • I’m way too old to change sports now. Sportsmen start so young – some of the ski jumpers we were talking to, they were jumping those giant ramps at nine years old. It’s definitely something they’ve dedicated their entire lives to, and that’s why they’re so good at it. I started racing when I was 11, so there are a lot of similarities there. They grow up as a kid, find something they are passionate about, and they continue to work at it to try to be the best they can be. – Martin Truex Jr. • In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life. – Lewis Hamilton • In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice. – Bobby Rahal • In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple. – Paul Newman • In racing, there is no question who is best – the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn’t going to like it, because it isn’t their style. Judging wine is very subjective. – Mario Andretti • In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle. – Garth Stein • In the early morning hours, Hannah read at the table by the dim light of dawn. She leaned in close to the pages, chin resting on her folded arms, eyes racing over the words, like chasing butterflies over the hills, to catch as many as she could before going to work. She wondered at how such tales of magic could be contained by mere paper and ink for her to read again and again. – Matthew J. Kirby • In the last three years of racing I’ve met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it’s the same thing. My wife loves cars, but the difference is she doesn’t have 20 years of understanding the background of them. She basically drives them and uses her gut feelings as to which is best. – Tim Allen • Ironman distance triathlons are a true test of oneself as a whole. Each race is a test of physical, mental and spiritual toughness that I haven’t found in any other type of racing. At the end of the day, challenging myself on all levels is what it’s about for me. – Timothy O’Donnell • It is a responsibility to be who you are and not let this sport [racing] change you and not let the good runs and success or the bad runs change you. You’ve got to be the same person all the time. – Trevor Bayne • It seems to me that oftentimes in young relationships once there’s a problem of some significance then it’s almost like they’re both racing for the dumper buzzer. – Daniel Handler • It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn’t enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem. – Niki Lauda • It’s basically the same, just darker. (on racing Saturday nights as opposed to Sunday afternoons, 1991 – Alan Kulwicki • It’s been a few days since I’ve seen my kids. My hearts racing; I can’t wait to hold them. This is just a glimpse into God’s heart at Mass. – Mark Hart • It’s great to learn more about sports I’m probably less familiar with – stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports – and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football. Sports is a way of life for billions of people around the planet. – Tom Brady • It’s the engine. They should have never had that. The biggest mistake people have made… I say, “people,” because it wasn’t just me alone, was not insisting Mercedes supply Red Bull an engine. Because had they supplied the same engine as they had, you would have seen good racing, you would have seen Red Bull up there last year. – Bernie Ecclestone • I’ve loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father. – Queen Latifah • I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car. – Nigel Mansell • Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver. – Jackie Stewart • Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.- Matt Groening • Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth. – Freeman Dyson • Millions of people are joined in the knowledge that writing brings insight and calm in the same way that prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the woods does. They have discovered that writing allows the racing mind to move at the pace of pen and paper or the pace of typing on the waiting screen – that journal writing is a spiritual practice. – Christina Baldwin • Money is how we keep the score in motor racing nowadays. – Colin Chapman • Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can’t figure out. – Will Rogers • Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: ‘Why am I racing?’ I race because I like it, because I’m really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I’m still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence. – Valentino Rossi • Motor Racing Outreach is great. They provide a chapel service every Sunday for drivers, wives, crew members, and others in the NASCAR industry so that we can gather and celebrate our faith. It’s important to me to have this time before the race on Sundays. They also provide other services such as at-track childcare and counseling. – Austin Dillon • Motor racing’s less of a sport these days than a commercial break doing 150 mph. – Peter Dunne • My father instilled in me a love for racing. – Kurt Busch • My focus is definitely on the racing. – Scott Dixon • My No. 1 goal in racing was never to be the most popular driver. – Brad Keselowski • My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I’d make a career in it but I never had any plan B. – Jenson Button • My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble. – Bill Rodgers • Okay. Then…I can talk. Ask me something.” “Okay.” He laughs shakily in my ear. “Why is your heart racing Tris?” I cringe and say, “Well, I…I barely know you. I barely know you and I’m crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?”… “Maybe you were cut out for Candor,” he says, “because you’re a terrible liar. – Veronica Roth • Our racing simulator is more about gathering data about the car, trying different setups, and trying to find speed in the actual racecar as opposed to speed in the actual driver. There’s no other way to get that kind of testing in, without doing the actual event, or getting outside and spending the money to make it happen. And it costs a lot to go to the racetrack. – Martin Truex Jr. • Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing. – Kurt Busch • Racing and hunting excite man’s heart to madness. – Laozi • Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face. – Jeremy Clarkson • Racing comes easily to me, especially the 100 metres. That is why, no matter how fast I run the run the 100 metres, the 200 will always mean more to me, because of the effort I’ve put in. – Usain Bolt • Racing drivers have balls, unfortunantly, none of them are crystal – David Coulthard • Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation. – Enzo Ferrari • Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife’s life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego. – Greg LeMond • Racing is bulging at the seams with pure nutball characters, men who can drink more, screw more, fight more, laugh more, joke more, than practically any collection of people in the world. – Brock Yates • Racing is dangerous, but I’ve been in a lot worse situations as a pipe fitter. – Neil Bonnett • Racing is in my blood, I can’t quite get out of it yet. – Dick Trickle • Racing is not football or baseball or basketball where you can do it yourself. If you’re good in high school, you just shine. (But in racing) you have to have a family behind you. – Trevor Bayne • Racing is not what I like to do; it’s winning. – Jeff Gordon • Racing is the constant search for the weakest link. – Duane Bailey • Racing is the fun part; it’s the reward of all the hard work. – Kara Goucher • Racing should never be an ordeal, rather an enjoyable and life-enhancing experience. – Bruce Fordyce • Rail is such an undignified way to travel. All that rapid racing about. Floating has so much more gravitas. – Gail Carriger • Road racing is rock ‘n roll; track is Carnegie Hall. – Marty Liquori • She felt as if she had been running, and had created a hill and was racing down the other side, and there was no stopping now. Gravity was taking her where she had to go. “But — everyone cares about something. Don’t they? – Cassandra Clare • Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it’d be quite hard to live with – so I need to keep racing. – Mark Webber • Slalom skiers train their whole lives for like a minute and a half. We’re not soccer or tennis players that can play the whole game. Once you’re in the World Cup, you’re physically prepared, so then ski racing almost always comes down to more mental than physical. I’ve been working on understanding that I’ve done everything that I can up until this point, and now I need to breathe and enjoy the moment, and do what I know I can do, versus trying to do more. Because you’re fighting to do more, but that doesn’t always work. – Resi Stiegler • Street circuits mean that we are racing in the centre of roads that people use everyday, which is very cool for drivers, but it also makes it very easy to make a mistake, which adds more excitement for fans. – Sam Bird • Tell me the word that will win you, and I will speak it. I will speak the stars of heaven into a crown for your head; I will speak the flowers of the field into a cloak; I will speak the racing stream into a melody for your ears and the voices of a thousand larks to sing it; I will speak the softness of night for your bed and the warmth of summer for your coverlet; I will speak the brightness of flame to light your way and the luster of gold to shine in your smile; I will speak until the hardness in you melts away and your heart is free. – Stephen R. Lawhead • That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life it. – Kara Goucher • The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they’ve got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It’s another one where we’re racing to save humanity. – Eric McCormack • The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it. – Hunter S. Thompson • The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one. – Junior Johnson • The builder of the best racing car is not necessarily its best driver. – Hans Selye • The competition is a big part of it [racing] – the passion you have for the sport and the knowledge you have. You’re not just going to wake up one day and say, ” think I’ll do something different.” This is what I’ve done my whole life. My competitive nature and my passion for the sport, those are the things that keep you wanting to do better. – Bobby Labonte • The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand. – Juan Manuel Fangio • The makeup of the drivers has changed a lot with so many young drivers coming and a lot of the legends moving on. Compared to when I started, it’s gone through a lot of changes. The cars have changed a lot and the approach to racing. There are a lot more employees. It’s become a much bigger business and more corporate. – Matt Kenseth • The number of people that can reason well is much smaller than those that can reason badly. If reasoning were like hauling rocks, then several reasoners might be better than one. But reasoning isn’t like hauling rocks, it’s like, it’s like racing, where a single, galloping Barbary steed easily outruns a hundred wagon-pulling horses. – Galileo Galilei • The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business. – John Steinbeck • The racing driver needs to be fed a diet of other racing drivers. – Carroll Smith • The rain’s been racing earthwards as if with some religious or political fanaticism. The clouds have the look of dark internal bleeding. Surely you lot look up from Cosmo while this sort of thing’s going on? Surely you take a Playstation break? – Glen Duncan • The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now – that intensely alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality. – Eckhart Tolle • The Showdown is a great way to bring attention to these historic Virginia tracks where many NASCAR drivers cut their teeth in stock car racing, including myself. Tracks like South Boston and Langley are the heart of the sport and draw a great crowd to our Showdown events. – Denny Hamlin • The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy. But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you. – Oprah Winfrey • The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing. – Lance Armstrong • There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. – Ernest Hemingway • There are those who keep out of mischief, and there are the adventurers, ‘ he said. “We racing drivers are adventurers; the more difficult something is, the greater the attraction that comes from it. – Juan Manuel Fangio • There is a sociology of horses, as well as a psychology. It is most evident in the world of horse racing, where many horses are gathered together, where year after year, decade after decade, they do the same, rather simple thing – run in races and try to win. – Jane Smiley • There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose. – Garth Stein • There is no doubt about precisely when folks began racing each other in automobiles. It was the day they built the second automobile. – Richard Petty • There’s a thrill when you steal something in plain view of other people. When you drop a newspaper over a sign and walk away with it, or take something off a wall and the sound of the glue ripping makes people turn around. Your heart is racing, it’s a rush. – George Carlin • There’s only one racing strategy that matters.It’s the one I run by: Get in the lead and don’t let anyone pass you. – Megan McCafferty • They watched storms out there so distant they could not be heard, the silent lightning flaring sheetwise and the thin black spine of the mountain chain fluttering and sucked away again in the dark. They saw wild horses racing on the plain, pounding their shadows down the night and- leaving in the moonlight a vaporous dust like the palest stain of their passing. – Cormac McCarthy • Time has stopped; time is racing. Lochie’s lips are rough yet smooth, hard yet gentle. His fingers are strong: I feel them in my hair and on my neck and down my arms and against my back. And I never want him to let me go. – Tabitha Suzuma • To think that the affairs of this life always remain in the same state is a vain presumption; indeed they all seem to be perpetually changing and moving in a circular course. Spring is followed by summer, summer by autumn, and autumn by winter, which is again followed by spring, and so time continues its everlasting round. But the life of man is ever racing to its end, swifter than time itself, without hope of renewal, unless in the next that is limitless and infinite. – Miguel de Cervantes • We all know the guy who sits at the end of the local bar telling the story of how he threw the winning touchdown pass in High School. I don’t want to be that guy. Racing gives us all the chance to be athletes again. – Don Panoz • We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they’re all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how. – John Hurt • We are all so immersed in our own technology bubbles that we’re ignoring so many important things. We’re all online arguing over nuance and nonsense, and everybody’s so incensed and upset about things that ultimately mean nothing while we are destroying our environment. While we’re racing towards Armageddon, we’re all online arguing about what Beyonce said at some award. – Rick Remender • We are the ones who take this thing called music and line it up with this thing called time. We are the ticking, we are the pulsing, we are underneath every part of this moment. And by making the moment our own, we are rendering it timeless. There is no audience. There are no instruments. There are only bodies and thoughts and murmurs and looks. It’s the concert rush to end all concert rushes, because this is what matters. When the heart races, this is what it’s racing towards. – Rachel Cohn • We’re all hoping to drop at least a few seconds in the finals. There’s a lot of girls that didn’t even swim this morning that will be racing us tonight, so we are going to be in the mindset that we are still just as fresh. – Brittany MacLean • What idiocy, to racing into this story and its labyrinths, sprinting away from our happiness among the fresh spring grasses by the oak. – Ian Mcewan • When I first started racing, my father said, “Win the race as slow as you can. – Richard Petty • When I started racing my father told me, ‘Cristiano, nobody has three balls but some people have two very good ones.’ – Cristiano da Matta • When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad’s Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis. – Danny Masterson • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a footballer and racing driver, like all kids. – Diego Della Valle • When the race to develop becomes more furious as the Championship progresses, the racing will get better too, improving the entire experience for the fans. – Sam Bird • When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough. – Ayrton Senna • When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. – Steve McQueen • While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors. – Percy Cerutty • You are always racing against the other swimmers, but I always try to just focus on what I’m doing and how I want to swim my races. – Katie Ledecky • You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that’s designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win. – Ayrton Senna • You know I have about the same interest in jewelry as I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry, and women who need weird excitement – none. – Cary Grant • You might not think that’s cricket, and it’s not, it’s motor racing. – Murray Walker
