28 Quotes by Ricky Carmichael

Loretta Lynn?s is a really special place for me and my family, and we go back to the race every year just to enjoy ourselves, ... Having them sponsor Team USA means a lot to me and my teammates.

My goal is to keep the pace up, like I have been this summer, and hope for the best in the end. But I know those last couple laps of the second moto, if I'm out in the lead, the bonus money will probably pop into my head.

I wished James would've stayed up. It would've been fun to do battle.

Bubba (Stewart) was in front of me and I followed for a lap and a half and then made a clean inside pass on him. I heard his bike revving wide open and saw his fender coming closer and then suddenly he crashed. It can't be fun to hit the mat as many times as he has this year. I think it comes down to learning to be patient.

I always have bad starts at this track,

It has been an unbelievable year for me, ... I am really excited for Suzuki, and this is a big night for them. They gave me an opportunity, and we all worked together on this great season.

That was definitely a race for the fans. I felt like we had the speed to win, but got caught up at the start. That's the way it goes.

We don't have long careers in this sport and I'm just trying to win as much as I can while I can.

This was amazing. I'm doing something I love to do. I don't know what to say, except the wins keep coming, I've had great career and I'll try to get as many more as I can,
