Okay I'm looking for the best racing quotes- these have to be from quotes from DRIVERS, ANNOUCERS or somebody with a legitimate history in racing- pissed off fans, drunk spectators and forums addicts don't count. I know Wolfgang had a cool quote in Open Wheel a long time ago about when you first strat racing all you can see is your hood......going on to say when you've been racing for a long time you see everything and it's coming at you in slow motion. Any others?

"I know there's money in racing because I put it there" Bill France
"It has occurred to me that God is on Steve Kinser's side" Ralph Capitani in the press room after Steve Kinser won the '93 Nationals
"Jason - Your wife has bigger balls than you" Tim Kaeding at Jason Meyer's (Meyers was nowhere to be found - presumably in the trailer somewhere) trailer shortly after the Bradway Memorial where early race contact led to TK being sidlined (which led to THE MOST ACCURATE helmet AND stearing wheel toss I've ever seen as Jason was idling under caution). I'm not making this one up - I was there, pissed off, AND sober when it happened.

A friend of mine was working in the pits during a champ car race at Okc. The car blew an engine but it was still running when the driver got to the pits. He yelled at the crew and told them to "check to see if a plug wire had come off". Turns out a couple of rods had knocked holes in the block and oil pan. LOL

"Harder than a school boy's prick on prom night" John Lawson when asked how hard a compound tire his midgets would have on that night of racing at Calistoga.
"Well, the cigarette lighter still works" Randy Turner after flipping end over end from the beginning of the backstretch to the cross-over gate at Calistoga Spring of '89. You could write a book on comical quotes from Turner.

This was said by Lealand McSpadden in a magazine artical( Yea, I've crashed a few cars,but never going slow!)
Jack Hewitt once said, If your going to run the bottom,you might as well get a real job.
After winning a CRA race at Hales Corner,the track announcer asked Brent Kaeding, have you ever seen any track like this one? To which Brent replied,No I haven't and I hope to never see one like it again!

Paraphrased version of Joey Kuhn in victory lane at Sharon Nationals when asked about winning $10,000: "I guess now when we say the check's in the mail, it'll really be in the mail."
Same driver when told "I saw you on TV" by a young spectator through the fence during a red flag at Port Royal: "Was I handcuffed?"

For me, I believe it was at the 2001 Chili Bowl...
Tony Stewart shows up on Saturday in a Wilke-Pak car with "Smoke Johnson" on the side (this was the first time he used that alias) and he starts scratch for the night in like the "K" feature. Many of those who follow racing like the junky that I am, knew he was going to show, but 95% of the people in the stands had no idea.
They push the cars out for hot laps and Jack Miller is reading off the names of the drivers. When he gets to the Wilke-Pak car he says... "And in the 11 car, starting scratch tonight, is Smoke Johnson from Wichita Falls, TX. It says here that this is his first time in a midget." Well, they push the cars off and Tony is out there driving the damn wheels off the car like I had never seen there, really backing it in and running laps in the 10.90's which is as fast as I have ever seen. When they throw the checkered to end the hotlaps, Jack Miller comes on the PA and says... "Well, it looks like 'ol Smoke Johnson is taking to that midget pretty good." I was freaking hilarious, I damn near fell over laughing!

" Danny doesn't like to run this fast... If he can't handle it, maybe he should just park it." Sammy on Lasoski at Bristol, 2001
