When a car's ahead of you, as long as you can see it, you get a tow, just like the draft in NASCAR. Even if it's a long ways down the track, it punches a hole in the air that has to help. When you're running alone, you can feel the difference, and it shows on the clock, too.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
Unfortunately, we don't educate drivers enough to be respectful on the road.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
Al Unser Sr. was one of the smartest drivers I've ever raced against. And I often said, I wish I could've had some of his patience. I know it would have worked for me many times.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
I see all these old people who don't have anything to do but eat, drink and sleep. I will never say 'retired' because that's such a finality that I don't want to be part of my life. I'll work until they throw me in a box.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
The day of parochialism in sports is over. The world is too small for what people like to call 'the good old days.' Fans want the best, wherever they come from.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
I've always said, 'I didn't have a Plan B in life.' I was in pursuit of my dream from the very beginning. It's all about desire and passion. At all costs.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
I think it's counterproductive in many ways to pretend to know things you don't. You surround yourself with people who are the real experts.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
In NASCAR, you can do a lot of banging around and get pretty serious and even get yourself upside down. All of those things can happen - and then you give an interview two seconds later.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
I don't have any feeling of accomplishment about anything unless there's a lot of risk to it.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
As far as I'm concerned, Parnelli Jones was the greatest driver of his era. He had aggressiveness and also a finesse that no one else possessed. And he won with everything he put his hands on, including off-road.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
If a neighbor is killed in a car accident, do you sell your car and stop driving?
Quote by -Mario Andretti
It seemed like whenever I got a bona fide offer from Ferrari, I couldn't do it. And vice versa - when I was ready, their seats were taken. We always had a relationship, but what's important is that I pretty much started my F1 career with them and ended it there, too.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
With tennis, you can go pick up a racket, take a lesson, and understand how much talent and skill it takes to be as good as the top pros. Same with golf: pick up a club. But not many can go out and get in a race car and experience a drive at over 200 miles an hour.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
You're safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
You should never get away from where the real foundation of Formula One has been, which is Europe. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the expansion to countries like Asia, China, Malaysia.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that's really what it feels like.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
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.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
You see people in the left lane, and as long as they are on the speed limit, they stay there. Get in the right lane and let people pass you - let the police worry about somebody who wants to speed. Don't force them pass in the right lane and zig zag, which can create an accident, just because you think you're correct.
Quote by -Mario Andretti
I count my blessings every day, quite honestly, because I take nothing for granted.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
