That has all changed, with the drivers of today polished and clean-cut athletes who are expected to behave like commercial puppets in public. ~ Brock Yates

The amateur study of philosophy is like taking a few laps with a NASCAR driver.

Or, as my local fire chief once said, you've simply exasperated the situation. ~ Michael Perry

We broke something, I think it was traction… ~ Carl Edwards

Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week. ~ Rick Pitino

In the last three years of racing I've met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it's the same thing.

I'd say it [success in NASCAR] is probably 50% car, 30% driver and 20% luck. When it comes to the driving, if the driver doesn't do his part, then it's just kind of like multiplying a negative times a positive: The end result is going to be a negative. ~ John Wes Townley
