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.

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
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
Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that's really what it feels like.
Mario Andretti
Young drivers are supposed to be hard on equipment. That's how you learn.
Mario Andretti
Anybody who can drive and doesn't come out of it a rich man is a fool.
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
You can't take a vacation from speed. I probably could have taken more time off and not driven in all the different disciplines, but I wanted to drive, drive and drive.
Mario Andretti
Failure is sucess if we learn from it.
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
If you think you're always in control, then you're not going fast enough.
