“Same with golf: pick up a club. But not many can go out and get in a race car and experience a drive at over 200 miles an hour.”

At Indy, we are the NASA of the production-car world, and that’s clearly why manufacturers are involved – it’s such a good testbed.

All of those things can happen – and then you give an interview two seconds later.

I look at myself as the luckiest man alive.

Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.

What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts, not react with your heart.
