I was invited to a couple of races, but I was doing a play in New York.
In Athens I was 17 and I didn’t have any expectations. I was just swimming fast and racing everybody. I didn’t have the joy after my races in 2007. I didn’t want to go to Beijing. I had to for sponsors.
I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds.
I get parents under the microscope and teach calming techniques for those moments when the heart races.
Failures are much more dramatic than successes, and people like drama. I think this is why automobile races draw such crowds. People expect spectacular crashes, which we tend to find more interesting than cars just racing around the track. The same is true of bridges, buildings, or any structure or machine.
The feeling I got from rallycross was a little bit more of the NASCAR aspect of it; it’s a family of races where racing is a passion, and it’s not the politics that come with it.
Charity fundraisers are nothing new to me. In the past, I have taken part in ski races for hospitals, walks for breast cancer, and long distance bike rides for geriatric care.
The best part of my career was being able to play with a lot of guys from different countries, different places, different races. That was the best part about it.
God created the races. He created different backgrounds and cultures. But He created them all to operate under His authority.
Many athletes are seeking new and novel ways of pushing their limits, and the challenge of running back-to-back races is certainly one way to test the boundaries.
In sports, a team is surrounded with people with different backgrounds, with different races, and with different religions. In order to win, everybody comes together. I feels like that’s what the U.S.A. represents. Everyone just has to come together in order to win.
When you are in your twenties you just think the races are what matter the most. When you are in your forties you really appreciate what you do every day.
I’ve always been athletic – did the 100 metres and 1500 m at school, cross-country races – and did well in them.
I do a lot of races for the cure for breast cancer.
Everything was really competitive. We used to always do field day, relays. Races. I was always just naturally good at those things. So when I started playing football, I used some of those traits.
I have dated all races, and I believe you should be free to do whatever you want.
I think I will not follow all the races, even in 2020 I am already considering eventually skipping some of the racing in the last part of the season starting from Turkey.
I will say we now, in the polling in Wisconsin, much different than many other races, the public didn’t perceive that we were getting a fair shake from the media.
When I was young, I would go to the races and it was an unbelievable feeling when you’d watch them race.
I didn’t like doing team presentations at races, being introduced as the winner of the Tour. I felt quite embarrassed by it.
Americans have always welcomed people of all backgrounds, religions, and races. It’s a spirit of tolerance, now energized and amplified by the cult of multiculturalism.
I was nervous before races. Every race was not perfect… Every morning when I woke up the first words weren’t always, ‘Oh, I’m so excited.’
My mother never watches the start of my races – because she fears for me.
I try to respect everybody around me, especially at speedway races.
I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform, go out and win races.
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
We’re not separate races. There’s only one human race.
We all had to dodge the idea we were spokespeople for our races. Like, ‘Hey, it’s the Mexican Guy! The Filipino! The Chick!’ We’ve always stood up to it and said, ‘Fine, bring it on and we’ll show you how we rock.’
It is the unbroken testimony of all history that alcoholic liquors have been used by the strongest, wisest, handsomest, and in every way best races of all times.
I mean, when I was growing up, my family was always into racing. So, we’d always have the TV on on Sundays watching the Cup races or whatever, and ultimately I kinda thought about wanting to become a race car driver. I thought it would be cool to get paid to do what you love to do most.
It’s not good to focus on one person or two persons about being your rivals. The important thing is just to train hard and be ready for the competition and to prepare for the races so that in case of anything that comes out, you are able to handle it.
It’s good to ski for fun, but I still want to win races as often as possible.
Ayrton and I shared a lot of incredible races, where he was first and I was second and vice-versa. I think it’s fair to say I am the only racer in Grand Prix history who wasn’t intimidated by him, and I think that was great for the fans – it did make us have a few close calls, though!
I went to the Women’s Campaign School at Yale; I went to Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Training, women’s campaign fund training. I got to know the district really well by talking to the county chair, getting to know politics, working on some local races.
There are the further difficulties of building a population out of a diversity of races, each at a different stage of cultural evolution, some in need of restraint, many in need of protection; everywhere a bewildering Babel of tongues.
For federal races, being able to carefully navigate the Trump Era is a significant challenge.
I think that’s why you see so many Americans in Dublin look so sad: they are looking for the door through which they can begin to understand this place. I tell them, ‘Go to the races.’ I think it’s the best place to start understanding the Irish.
If we dismiss from our minds the prejudice we may have against the Indians we shall be able to more clearly understand the impulses that govern both races.
My goal in sailing isn’t to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run.
I could just go to the horse races and take lovely holidays, but I have some strong views, and I want to make a difference.
It’s about making sure we’re there at the end of races and we get the best possible finish we can. What comes with that is being able to have realistic expectations and not trying to do something more than what the car is capable of, so it’s a team effort for sure.
It used to be said all horse players die broke – you can’t beat the races. But today, with the Pick 6’s and Superfectas, you can. Not that the odds aren’t against you, but a good hit, and it’s hard to blow that back.
In track and field, Nike is all-powerful. They control the top coaches, athletes, races, even the governing body.
As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment.
Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.
Individual tribes or, in other words, races or stocks, are the constituent elements of the earliest history.
No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions.
Often people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane… There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.
In France, successive waves of Gaul, Visigoth, and Frank have swept over the land and have dominated it. But the fair hair and blue eyes and the clear skin of the conquering races have been submerged by the rising and overflow of the dusky blood of the original population.
When they moved me to Raw away from Finlay I was so scared because that was all I had. They said I was going to manage Sheamus, but that never happened, and it’s like, ok, now what. Thank God the Chavo feud started, and then the DX stuff, then it was off to the races again. It was great, but scared me to death.
People from different backgrounds may not have natural affinity, but when the Word of God is treated right and the Holy Spirit is allowed to engage, it can bring together things, people, backgrounds, histories, races, colors, and cultures and hold them together in a way that natural affinity may not be able to do.
All of a sudden, I started winning races. I was the king of Arizona.
My sister, Kelly, was really bright and academic. She was head girl of the school and at the top of her year. Because we were so different, we were never in competition. You can’t be when you’re almost running two different races.
Prestigious events like the Main Event at the WSOP are marathon races. Fatigue is sure to set in.
I think I’ve shown that all the promises I made that I was going to win races were real and not bull.
In a time where there are divides between cultures and races, I would love to use my position to show that we are all the same inside and working together is the key to moving forward.
My dad is Chinese, and my mom is a white American, and they married only ten years after the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal to ban mixed marriages. Imagine that. Marriages between people of different races – now common and accepted – were illegal in many states up until the late Sixties.
