More quotes by Mario Andretti
But really - look at the span of my career, and it's something people dream about. And to be spared major injury: I had some moments along the way, but being able to retire on my own terms after having driven during those decades when safety conditions were more precarious than today - am I lucky, or  what?
Mario Andretti

The passport changes but the blood doesn't
Mario Andretti
Do it no matter what. If you believe in it, it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it, then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion, an honest passion, just do it.
Mario Andretti
Anybody who can drive and doesn't come out of it a rich man is a fool.
Mario Andretti
If you think you're always in control, then you're not going fast enough.
Mario Andretti
When you are losing it can seem like there is a black cloud following you around, but like they say there is a silver lining in every cloud.
Mario Andretti
Young drivers are supposed to be hard on equipment. That's how you learn.
Mario Andretti
The first time I fired up a car, felt the engine shudder and the wheel come to life in my hands, I was hooked. It was a feeling I can't describe. I still get it every time I get into a race car.
Mario Andretti
Speed is relative. You have to live it. You can't just jump into it. You have to live it all the time.
Mario Andretti
Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.
Mario Andretti
My biggest concern during a race is getting bored. The biggest thing I have to combat is falling asleep while going around and around.
