- “I’d say it [success in NASCAR] is probably 50% car, 30% driver, and 20% luck. When it comes to the driving, if the driver doesn’t do his part, then it’s just kind of like multiplying negative times a positive: The end result is going to be a negative.” ~ John Wes Townley

That has all changed, with the drivers of today polished and clean-cut athletes who are expected to behave like commercial puppets in public.” ~ Brock Yates
- “I wish Michael Schumacher would come to try NASCAR. That’d be cool. With everything he’s done and how professional he’s remained through it all, I think he’s an awesome role model as far as work ethic and tenacity. He just seems like he knows how to get it done.” ~ Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

- “I realize this is blasphemy, but a few weeks ago I tried to watch a NASCAR race being run at Talladega. I lasted about five minutes before terminal boredom overtook me. It appeared to be nothing more than a high-speed freeway commute–a mob of luridly painted, identical lumps of metal loping at 180 mph around the banking, fender to fender, nose to tail. Knowing the scenario would surely devolve into a multicar demolition derby that would thrill the goobers in the grandstands, I turned off the set to later learn that this time it was Jimmie Johnson who triggered the eight-car melee.” ~ Brock Yates
-

- “That’s one of the coolest things about being a racecar driver. Even if it’s one tweet a day, the platform allows me the opportunity to change someone’s life. That’s what we’re here for. When we’re struggling on the track, I try to take myself out of the situation and realize how small these earthly problems are. I love being able to spread the Word. That’s my main purpose in life. Driving in NASCAR is icing on the cake.” ~ Tanner Berryhill
- “I wish they would pass a law where all Democrats and Republicans had to wear NASCAR racing suits because if you look at the NASCAR drivers, it tells who their sponsors are.

-

- “In L.A., I was meeting people who were all actors. My mind started to open up to what acting was. I didn’t realize that Brad Pitt was a real person.

No one can just say, ‘Hey, I’m going to be a NASCAR driver.'” ~ Kellan Lutz

- “Oscar Pistorius is now infamous for reasons that I think everybody knows about, but when I hit on his story and put it in the book, what I found fascinating was a description, from one of the scientists who helped Pistorius, of what the Paralympics will become. Because they don’t place any restriction on enhancements for athletes, in the very near future the Paralympics will bear a closer resemblance to NASCAR than to the traditional Olympics. There will be a human-machine melding that will result in crazy feats of athleticism.” ~ Ron Currie Jr.
- “I feel like with Indy cars, you can just show up – if you are equipped to build and make a nice car, then you could be competitive. But in NASCAR I don’t see that even being possible for someone to just show up with a car. There’s too much evolution of the tricks and bells and whistles and all the things it takes to be fast in stock-car racing that you wouldn’t know.” ~ Danica Patrick
-
“When I did some NASCAR races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side – to race against each other – because in rallying you really race against the clock.” ~ Kimi Raikkonen

- “Motor Racing Outreach is great. They provide a chapel service every Sunday for drivers, wives, crew members, and others in the NASCAR industry so that we can gather and celebrate our faith. It’s important to me to have this time before the race on Sundays. They also provide other services such as at-track childcare and counseling.” ~ Austin Dillon
- “It has been obvious all along, to anyone paying attention, that the politicians shouting loudest about deficits are actually using deficit hysteria as a cover story for their real agenda, which is top-down class warfare. To put it in Romneyesque terms, it’s all about finding an excuse to slash programs that help people who like to watch Nascar events, even while lavishing tax cuts on people who like to own Nascar teams.” ~ Paul Krugman
-
“A written regulation in NASCAR is about as reliable as an Egyptian immigration law.” ~ Brock Yates
- “Everything at a NASCAR event carries a corporate logo except the lavatory stalls.” ~ Brock Yates
- “In the last three years of racing I’ve met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it’s the same thing. My wife loves cars, but the difference is she doesn’t have 20 years of understanding the background of them. She basically drives them and uses her gut feelings as to which is best.” ~ Tim Allen
- “There was a day when you could identify a NASCAR Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge and they actually looked like “stock cars.” Now they are pod machines, slick on the outside but still powered by the same Neanderthal carbureted pushrod V-8s that have been under their hoods for half a century. If this is real auto racing, then the WWF ought to be part of the Olympics.” ~ Brock Yates
- “I think NASCAR’s coming to Canada now so it’ll take on a whole new relevance. Be afraid.” ~ Samantha Bee
