Jean Girard: My name is Jean Girard and I am a racing-car driver just like you except I am from Formula Un. I am the greatest one in the whole world. I have been following your career with great interest, Monsieur Bobby.

Ricky Bobby: I can't understand a word you've said the whole time.

Cal Naughton, Jr.: Did you eat some peanut butter or something?

Ricky Bobby: Yeah, you sound like a dog with peanut butter on the roof of your mouth

Jean Girard: I think what you are hearing is my accent. I am French.

Ricky Bobby: You say you're French?

Jean Girard: Oui.

[sounds like 'We']

Ricky Bobby: We? No, we are not French. We're American, because you're in America, okay? Greatest country on the planet

Jean Girard: Well, what have you given the world apart from George Bush, Cheerios, and the ThighMaster?

Ricky Bobby: Chinese food?

Cal Naughton, Jr.: Chinese food.

Jean Girard: That's from China.

Ricky Bobby: Pizza.

Jean Girard: Italy.

Cal Naughton, Jr.: Chimichanga.

Jean Girard: Mexico.

Ricky Bobby: Really, smarty-pants? What did French land give us?

Jean Girard: We invented democracy, existentialism, and the blow job.

Cal Naughton, Jr.: Those are three pretty good things.

Ricky Bobby: Hey.

Cal Naughton, Jr.: Well that last one's pretty cool.

Mexican commentators:
- They are at each others throats. They are even using the buckets. (I don't remember which race it was, but it was in the early 90's when local TV used the Mexican F1 feed)
-He stalled the engine. This cars carry a compressed air tank to start the engine again, but I don't think its working. (again I don't remember the race but the same era)

Q. Chris, why are the cars weaving back and forth like that? Are they trying to warm up the tires?

A. No, they are just testing the steering to make sure if works properly. :wtf:

"boogity boogity boogity, let´s go racing you bunch of hotdogs"

I swear an American commentator said that just before the race went green. Never laughed that much in my whole life.
It´s on youtube somewhere as well.

You can be forgiven for thinking that. But I saw the race live and remember Economaki saying this with a straight face. The man was simply clueless and was perhaps the dumbest motorsports commentator of all time. :(
Some men go crazy; some men go slow. Some men go just where they want; some men never go.

while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

Darrel Waltrip, ole DW... He says that (or a variation of it) at the start of every NASCAR race. Yours is at 1:24 ...
