Actually, I think that quote was originally spoken by Ernest Hemingway.
You are correct, sir. It was Hemmingway.

"Only meant to rattle his cage a little bit"- Dale Earnhardt after putting Terry Labonte in the wall at Bristol. Too bad junior dont drive like daddy.
What? Just wrecking people left and right with no reguard for their life or safety? I hated Big E for this reason and often said he's gonna kill somebody some day. No doubt, he's on my top 5 best ever list, and I respect that, but people who cheered his suckerpunch behavior always floored me. He never messed with Bill Elliot after Bill rammed him after a race. he never messed with Tim Richmomd wither. Mark Martin would wreck trying to get out of Big E's way. And Nascar let it go on amazed me too!

Alain Prost is one of the race car drivers that I most admire. He is absolutely right with that quote.
Prost's should have been: "When I look fast, I'm not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast. And when I look scared, it means Senna is passing me again." (Alain Prost)
I'm just trying to make a funny. He was a phenomenal driver.

I guess the reason I liked Earnhardts driving is the fact I'd be the same type of driver in a Cup car. I always liked his "do whatever it takes to win" attitude.

I think that one is apocryphal...
Anyway, one of my favorites is from the late great soccer legend Pete Best(used to be my sig, in fact):
"I spent most of my money on cars, birds, and booze. The rest I just squandered"

Quote:
second place is the first loser
So if Jeff Gordon ran 2nd in evry Cup race in the season he'd probably be a loser? uhhh, he'd prolly win the Championship. I know you did not make it up, so I am not poking sticks at you personally, but that is such a negative statement....

"Make that 11!" - Smokey Yunick, (while driving away with no gas tank) after being told his car was disqualified from the Daytona race for having 10 violations.
It was "13" violations. My favorite was #1 on the list, "Replace tube chassis with factory chassis"
That car was 7/8 scale, he was a genious!!!!
"As far as cheating goes, they'll never stop it. The only way it can be done successfully, only one person can know about it.” Smokey Yunick
