Jack Roush on the realities of Automobile Racing
18 August 1997
"Hemmingway said that there are three sports. There is mountain climbing, bull fighting and automobile racing. All the rest are games. These guy's take a chance. They put their lives in one another's hands. You can say maybe they should look with favor or disfavor with each other and they should look at everybody equal, but they have one another's lives in their hands. Depending on how well they think the guy they are running around is able to keep them out of harm's way, then they will extend the consideration, or they won't. That is the way it is." --Jack Roush
