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
What is golden is miles under your belt, miles, miles, miles.
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.

I go to bed is around 11, and I do that for every race. I get good sleep. I don't lie awake for any race. That's my routine.
Mario Andretti
Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that's really what it feels like.
Mario Andretti
I will always enter a race car from the left side. Always. Why? I have no idea.
Mario Andretti
Young drivers are supposed to be hard on equipment. That's how you learn.
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
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
If you think you're always in control, then you're not going fast enough.
Mario Andretti
The only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.
Mario Andretti
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.
