I had no problems staying motivated because things that were happening were things I looked forward to.

The United States is the only country where a driver can have a successful career - either in stock cars or IndyCar - and he won't need a passport.

You do the best you can with what's thrown at you, then you try again.

For every negative, there's a positive. It's in everything. How you deal with life, outlook, how much energy you put into achieving something. That's why I detest entitlement. Anything that's worthwhile is going to call for some sacrifice. Nothing worthwhile will come to you without a price. People think in sports, you have different rules. You really don't. It's whatever motivates you.

I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age.

You can't take a vacation from speed. I probably could have taken more time off and not driven in all the different disciplines, but I wanted to drive, drive and drive.
