Sorry if this might be a repost, I didn't really do an extensive search but these were too good not to share.

"Racing is life, anything that happens before or after is is just waiting" – Steve McQueen



About Ayrton Senna - Even Senna confessed he occasionally went too far, as was the case in qualifying for the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix, where he became a passenger on a surreal ride into the unknown. Already on pole, he went faster and faster and was eventually over two seconds quicker than Prost in an identical McLaren. "Suddenly, it frightened me," Ayrton said, "because I realised I was well beyond my conscious understanding. I drove back slowly to the pits and did not go out anymore that day."-



"Racing is an addiction that makes heroin look like a longing for something salty." Peter Egan



"You can't win a race on your first lap, but you can lose it then"

"The first automobile race happened on the day the second car was made"

"I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car."
-Nigel Mansell

"Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountaineering are the only real sports ... all others are games."
- Earnest Hemingway

"You win some, lose some, and wreck some."
-Dale Earnhardt

"Nobody remembers who finished second but the guy who finished second."
- Bobby Unser

“When I raced a car last it was at a time when sex was safe and racing was dangerous. Now, it’s the other way round.”
- Hans Stuck



If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
-Gilles Villeneuve



After a IROC race at a super speedway a few years ago, one of the non- NASCAR drivers complained about the amount of bumping going on during the race. Bill Elliott told a reporter after he heard about the complaint "If he didn't want to swap a little paint, what's he doing out there?" I loved that



If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
-Mario Andretti



"No, it will never have enough power until I can spin the wheels at the end of the straightaway in high gear"
- Mark Donohue on the Can Am Porsche 917

"It is better to go into a corner slow and come out fast than to go into a corner fast and come out dead." - Stirling Moss

"Sam, you're wrong."

Typical response from Bobby Unser to observations made by Sam Posey during Indy car broadcasts on ABC. Always made me laugh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Not really a "racing" quote, but still funny!

"Some aspects of NASCAR racing should be legal for road use. For instance, if somebody cuts you off it should be legal to get up under 'em, bust 'em loose, and put 'em into the wall." - Jeff Foxworthy (I believe)

In the movie The Gumball Rally (1976), as the Italian driver of the Ferrari Daytona Spyder gets into the car for the first time, he rips the rear view mirror off of the car and then he says “What’s behind me is not important!”.

A.J. Foyt on suggestions that stock cars be slowed down by mechanical alterations:
"Race cars are built to run fast, if you want to slow up, all you ahve to do is lift that foot."

And one of my favorites:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!'"
--Unknown
