Youre safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track. – 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 thats their problem. But if you do have a passion, an honest passion, just do it. – Mario Andretti
Desire is the key to motivation, but its 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
Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs. – Mario Andretti
