The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Beautiful chaos!

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.
Mario Andretti
The minute he got in front of me, he slowed down half-a-second a lap because he knows I'm fighting him for the championship and he was out of the race. It's probably the most unsportsmanlike thing I've ever seen on the racetrack, apart from shunting someone into a wall.

Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
