Cale Yarborough quotes about
one of the hottest races I've ever been in. This is a heck of a way to make a living.
During a race, it's like I become a machine and the machine becomes a man. I talk to my cars, baby them, shout at them, praise them.
If he'd just crowded me down to the side of the asphalt, I'd have been OK. But when he ran me completely off the racetrack, I lost it.
I knew Childress was going to help me because my crew told me on the radio. I really appreciate what Richard did, but that is typical of people in this sport.
If you don't take a chance-you won't have a chance.
Driving a race car is like dancing with a chain saw.
Don't ever wrestle with a pig. You'll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.
If they hadn't been there, we'd probably still be fighting,
That's the best thing that ever happened to NASCAR,
If he'd just crowded me down to the side of the asphalt, I'd have been OK, ... But when he ran me completely off the racetrack, I lost it.
I think it turned the whole sport around. It got everybody's attention. People who were watching TV live were jumping up and down in their living rooms.
