20 Quotes by Andy Lally

It was not until months after going vegetarian that I started really learning about all of the health benefits.

The choice to become vegetarian was purely for ethical reasons. Like most meat eaters, I was a little concerned with removing meat from my diet. Also, like most meat eaters, I was blind to the horrible ways animals are treated.

As a kid, I loved my Matchbox cars, my Big Wheels, and the race cars on TV. When I laid eyes on my first go-kart when I was just five, it gave my desire for making things with wheels go fast a focus. This combined with the fact that I've been incredibly competitive since a young age made for the proper mix of passion and aggression to become a race car driver.

The race was really going our way at the beginning. Marc did an excellent job and brought the car into the pits in second place. We had trouble with my seat insert and we took too long getting me belted in, we gave away a win today. It is nice to leave with the points lead, but we left win on the track.

There was a bunch of pressure to win here. I think it's a huge achievement for us and the team and GM. It's nice to bring happiness to the people who build it.

That's the beauty of the Grand-Am Cup. We've got 70 cars out there, and this is one of my favorite tracks. It's about traffic management.

It was just awesome to win. It finally feels good to get a win after two podium finishes.

I knew right before we went to that last yellow caution that Spencer didn't really have a lot of rear tire left. So I gave him room on the restart so as not to be on top of him and have the other competition right behind me. I opened on the guy behind me, and when I got to 'Spence' his tires were already off a lap or two and I could make my move. Today was one of the toughest races mentally because it was such a good race; plus we needed to get points for the championship lead. I'm really glad we did it, though.

I didn't touch him the entire time. He just got a bunch of bad breaks in traffic, but I'll take it any day.
