I’m very lucky to be in a sport that I can do this. We can drive the car, we can drive it hard, and so we need to get in there and get some points...

That is a heck of a racetrack and I know all the drivers are looking forward to coming out there. I think the people of Northern California are really going to enjoy the show.

Winning in my business is everything.

Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn’t teach me everything he knows.

I knew what he wanted to do, and he showed me the plans, but when he brought me to the building and showed me around, I didn’t see how it was possible. I didn’t think...

Every race I run in is in preparation for the Indianapolis 500. Indy is the most important thing in my life. It is what I live for.

What can I say, the best therapy for me was to get in my Marlboro car and drive it.

Deep down, I do still think about driving, but you know that your reflexes and everything are just not the same, … Once you’ve reached a certain level of racing, you know when you start...

I’ve got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I’ve got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the...

I wouldn’t mind meeting Eddie Van Halen. That would be great. We need to invite him to a race.

I don’t want to get into anything that would only be halfway. If we’re going to commit to it, then we’re going to commit to it all the way.

This place shows what we have done. How it started. How it all happened. I think what you see here will bring to life what we have accomplished in auto racing.

I think they’d be very proud of what we’ve done. We honor them as they were fantastic human beings. My folks were the greatest folks a man could ever want, and my brothers were terrific....

I tell all the rookies that come into our series and all the young drivers they can come ask me anything at any time, and we’ll give them the straight shoot.

We received a CID [civil investigative demand] from the Justice Dept. and we have responded.
