Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.

If you don't come walking back to the pits every once in a while holding a steering wheel in your hands, you're not trying hard enough

I'm so thankful that I've had such a long and uninterrupted [knocks wood] career... I count my blessings every day for that because it was so fulfilling.

I never personally name anyone. I am not comfortable rating other drivers.

You do a period of go-karting until you're at the age of qualifying for a ride in a 'school-kart,' then you qualify for driving school. And several of the driving schools have a competition series for their own students.

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.

My biggest concern during a race is getting bored. The biggest thing I have to combat is falling asleep while going around and around.
