What Is Your Favorite Racing Quote?
Spend any amount of time, in any corner of the car scene, and you’re bound to discuss motorsports at some point. And one of the first conversation starters might be a quote from a famous person associated with the sport. Or maybe an overtly dramatic fictionalization of racing?
Cheesy though it might be, this famous quote from The Fast And The Furious likely inspired countless enthusiasts of a certain era, as it has the right combination of drama, reality, and passion.
So the question is now in your court: Tell us your favorite quote in racing. Are you a Dale Earnhardt “Second place is just the first loser,” or an Ayrton Senna’s “Going for gap“? Perhaps you take quotes from automotive manufacturing moguls, like Enzo Ferrari’s “Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines” or Henry Ford when he said, “Auto racing began five minutes after the second car was built.”
No matter who said it, we want to know your favorite racing quote in the comments section below!
