(Alain Prost) 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. HA...Senna was not fit to wash Prost's Nomex codpiece. Seriously though...I have always felt that someone should write a book about the Senna/Prost rivalry. IMHO, one of the greatest rivalries in the history of motorsports. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi Orange U-code 4-speed 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V-12 4-speed 2+2 Signal Red.

Daddy's won here 10 times." - Dale Earnhardt Jr. �You're not a racing driver, you're a f***ing idiot!� - Ayrton Senna yelling at Jordan�s Eddie Irvine after the 1993 Japanese Grad Prix �I�ve had a jackass driving for me, and now I am rid of him.� - Junior Johnson commenting on Darrell Waltrip's switch to Hendricks after the '86 season. "It's the last straw for Roush Racing. We're officially retiring as Kurt Busch's apologists effective today." - Geoff Smith, Roush Racing president after the team suspended Kurt Busch �You know, when Arnold Palmer came on TV with an old tractor and told me to buy Pennzoil, I bought that, and when Dale Jarrett advertises UPS, I can go along with that, too. But I don�t think having an 18-year-old, somebody who�s probably gotten five packages in his life and they were all �Girls Gone Wild� videos, tell me what delivery service I should use would have much effect on me.� - Kyle Petty �If you don't cheat, you look like an idiot; if you cheat and don't get caught, you look like a hero; if you cheat and get caught, you look like a dope.

He ain't never afraid With ten to go, I didn't have a code of ethics Wally Dallenbach's like a kite without a tail out there You can tell that you're in trouble when you feel the air on the back of your neck instead of in your face I got hit in the head pretty hard. My clock ran backward's for two years On a newly re-paved Darlington - "The new asphalt is like putting a tuxedo on a rattlesnake" With reference to a driver in the Pro Truck race - "He ran out of talent about halfway through the corner" Buddy was interviewed after a superspeedway race in which he drove through a smoke screen full of wrecked cars. The comentator praised his skillful driving...Buddy's response "it's amazing what you can do with your eyes closed" On Rick Hendrick and Felix Sabates - "Well I don't know which one has more money but I'll tell you what. Either one could burn a wet mule with hundred dollar bills"

Too bad junior dont drive like daddy. I am sure the Earnhardt fans don't remember this one: I believe the next race was Pocono, and Jeremy Mayfield tagged Earnhardt in the last turn of the last lap, forcing Earnhardt to get loose, and allowing Mayfield to pass him for the win. Afterwards, Earnhardt flipped Mayfield "the bird" on the cool-down lap...Mayfields' response from victory lane "I just wanted to rattle his cage a little bit". One of my favorite NASCAR moments!

In addition to rain mastery, Senna was a complete master at qualifying and Monaco.

Still cant believe NASCAR let Mayfield by with a stunt like that. They should've took points away and suspended his butt for at least 2 races.
