Richard Petty

No one wants to quit when he’s losing and no one wants to quit when he’s winning.

There’s probably not a crew chief out there who hasn’t tried something that seemed like a good idea.

He was going to make it. He had a passion for driving a car … Adam was never interested in anything else.

The good Lord doesn’t tell you what His plan is, so all you can do is get up in the morning and see what happens next.

If Kyle had ever been dedicated to nothing but driving, he’d have been really, really good. But he wanted to do a lot of other things. He’s always been that way. Still is.

We are excited to partner with TEAM, RADD and NHTSA on this campaign, designed to raise awareness of two major safety issues – impaired driving and seatbelt use. Richard Petty Driving Experience provides the perfect venue for the campaign’s messages and incentives, particularly for reaching young men, who make up the highest risk group for motor vehicle crashes. The collaboration of our staff, NASCAR driver hosts and fans with the celebrities and dignitaries that represent the campaign at Richard Petty Driving Experience is exciting to see.

This Velvet Mafia thing is just another homophobic, nasty kind of thing that jealous queens make up.

You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just given all their songs.

If you really want something, you’ve gotta just do it and not wait for other people to hand it to you.

So, I think it has to do with the product and what you take to the public. If they like it, they’re going to come see you, and if they don’t, and if you’re kind of getting out of the trendy line of things, then they won’t come see you.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

You know what, I have faith in people. I think people want to see something new and different. They don’t want to see anything that they’ve seen before. They don’t want to have it worked out in the first 10 minutes how it will end. I think people are really smart and sophisticated.

I was the original pop star, knocking off as many birds as you could get in one night. Pete’s got a bit of a chip, because I used to get all the girls.

Well, I don’t like the word ‘rock star,’ the two words, ‘rock star.’ Not even ‘soft rock star’. Not even limestone star. I don’t like those words.

So many people try to grow up too fast, and it’s not fun! You should stay a kid as long as possible!

I thought coq au vin was love in a lorry.

[on the harsh standards placed on women by Hollywood] It’s one of those endless competitions, but it’s like running a race toward nothing. “There’s no winning. You’re never going to win the thin race. You’re never going to win the pretty race. You’re never going to win the smart race. You’re never going to win the funny race. I just want to be the best version of myself I can be.

I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.

If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.

I’m just chatty. But I do express my opinion.

I don’t know how many millions of photographs have been taken of me.
