There's something special about racing in real streets. The 'artificial' circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own - Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.

Speed takes a little bit of getting used to, but rules have to be followed. At any speed, the more you run, the more you get used to it.
Mario Andretti
The crashes people remember, but drivers remember the near misses.

I look at myself as the luckiest man alive.
Mario Andretti
From the driver's standpoint I had the same horrors, the same satisfactions, the same everything. The speed is relative. It's faster and things are happening quicker, but you have the equipment to handle it.
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
The experts or the cynics say, Oh, those were the good old days, that's when drivers were really drivers. They didn't have all these aids. You know what? What we had, we did the best with and when we got more we provided what was needed.
Mario Andretti
Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning they are well informed.

You dream what you're supposed to do

You're safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
