More quotes by Mario Andretti

Mario Andretti
Young drivers are supposed to be hard on equipment. That's how you learn.
Mario Andretti
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 only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.
Mario Andretti
Anybody who can drive and doesn't come out of it a rich man is a fool.
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
Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning they are well informed.
Mario Andretti
Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.
Mario Andretti
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.
