What's really hit me over the years is that you go to every race and see all the well-wishers, and you really feel like you are connected with people after all these years.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.

In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice.

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say

In 1982 when I showed up, the average age of the drivers in the series was something like 40, 41. The crowds were small. There was not much prize money. The competition wasn't very tight.

The place where I had so much success as a driver would be where I had my first win as a team owner.
