28 Quotes by Ricky Carmichael

I've been here before and will use my experience to get me through these last two rounds. Seattle and Vegas will be worth the price of admission for sure.

I wanted to get a good drive through the whoops section, but I missed one of them (whoops) and crashed. But I rebuilt myself after the crash and I can't believe I made it to the podium. These guys are making me work hard and we have to be up here (on podium) every weekend.

Definitely, James has ridden exceptionally well all year, not just these last three races.

As far as the five wins at Daytona, it really feels great. It's pretty amazing. I love this race. It's close to home, and I've always done well here. I really enjoy it. It's fun for me. It's special.

It's a long season and it's better to get second than risk crashing.

The fans wanted this championship to come down to the final race and that's what they've got. I would much rather sew up the title early and I've been lucky enough to do that a number of times in my career, but I'll go out there in the last two races and do the best I can to win it this way. The fact that the championship would come down to the final race is something I've said all season. There's just too much talent in the series for anything else to happen.

I'm not settling in, the points are too close. James (Stewart) is obviously riding really well.

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. I love it and appreciate it and thanks to all my sponsors. I know that when I signed with Makita Suzuki, I didn't know it was going to be as good as it has been. I was confident in my abilities and in the team and you've just got to give it up for Makita Suzuki.
