"The Goodyear engineers placed some spikes on the track and Petty climbed in his car, buckled up and said, "Ain't this some way to make a livin'?" Richard Petty, NASCAR Champion, (during a tire test) "It finally dawned on us that if we absolutely, totally duplicated our competition, we are only equal to them...We wanted them chasing us." Leo Mehl, former Goodyear Director of Worldwide Racing. "There were four laps to go when I felt the vibration. It wasn't the car. It was the crowd. You can feel it...on your skin. There were 300,000 people screaming...I knew I had won." A.J. Foyt, four-time Indy 500 winner
