Man, I was a troubled kid. I was going to get kicked out of a Christian school and got sent to military school for a year and a half, and I didn't really have much direction until I got the opportunity to drive race cars.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

I've been driving race cars professionally for a while: 200 mph types of things.

Antonio Sabato, Jr.

Once we started racing, my dad had his own industrial cleaning business about twenty minutes from the house, so we kept our race cars there.

Bubba Wallace

Driving race cars was an avenue for me to learn how to build my own car, and that was my ambition all along.

Carroll Shelby

I had a lot of fun driving race cars, but it wasn't my No. 1 priority.

Carroll Shelby

We're just into toys, whether it's motorcycles or race cars or computers. I've got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I've got the world's smallest phone. Maybe it's just because I'm still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?

Catherine Bell

I didn't start driving race cars because of the fame or the money, but the most rewarding factor is being complimented on what you do, and your fans are always the first to do that.

I don't race cars.

Dwayne Johnson

I have some old cars, but I have some modern cars as well. And I have some race cars, the cars that I race. I have some Ferraris.

Felipe Massa

Boats are something I am very, very passionate about; cars are something I grew up with... I used to race cars since I was a child.

Gautam Singhania

I wanted to race cars. I didn't like school, and all I wanted to do was work on cars. But right before I graduated, I got into a really bad car accident, and I spent that summer in the hospital thinking about where I was heading. I decided to take education more seriously and go to a community college.

George Lucas

I just feel rejuvenated in such a big way because of these race cars I get to drive.

Jeff Gordon

So much of my life is spent just focused on driving race cars.

Jeff Gordon

We share the emotions of driving race cars. It's cool to have a dad who understands what you mean when you talk about oversteer or traction. But it's not a help at the race.

Kevin Magnussen

I do kung fu. I box. I ride horses. I like to race cars in a crazy way.

Luke Goss

Some ways of using our thinking are really inspiring. There are people who use their thinking to race cars. People use their thinking to build rockets to the moon. It's all just a use of your thinking.

Michael Nesmith

I've always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.

Paul Walker

I love 'Donnie Brasco' and 'Days of Thunder,' so after I did 'The Skulls,' I was like, 'I want to be either an undercover cop, or I want to race cars!' Universal came to me with a newspaper article about street racing in L.A., and I was like, 'Are you kidding me? I grew up doing that right off Peoria in Sun Valley.' They asked if I wanted to do it.

Paul Walker

It's not about today or tomorrow; it's about building a company that can build the best race cars in the world.

Robby Gordon

For me, personally, skiing holds everything. I used to race cars, but skiing is a step beyond that. It removes the machinery and puts you one step closer to the elements. And it's a complete physical expression of freedom.
