Jerry Nadeau Quotations

My doctors tell me I took a very bad lick, and to be happy I'm still alive, and to go choose some other path with your life,

I have been out of the game for a while, and I am just starting to get sense to my brain. The outside healed fine, but what I deal with now is a hidden thing and people don't really see it, but I live with it every day. I look fine. When I come to an event like this, the people are great, but it's upsetting to have them come up to me and say why aren't you racing. My mind is just not what it used to be.

I have struggled. If you do racing all of your life, and then all of a sudden it ends, what do you do? Do you go back to school, do you start a business? All we know how to do is race. That's all I've done since my dad put me in a go-kart at 4.

I have a lot of ideals, I may even go back to school, ... The biggest thing people don't realize is that racing was part of my life since I was 2, and then it all stopped. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do the rest of my life.

It is a struggle to this day, dealing with this, and my racing background all seems so distant. I am having a hard time letting racing go. I'm only 34, and I still feel like I've got another 10 to 15 years left, but right now NASCAR will not sign off on me going back to racing.

It's just been two-and-a-half years, and in the racing business you have to move on, ... You obviously can't sit back and say you're going to wait for someone for three years. Joe's the driver and I am giving them space because it's his job now. It's not my car because I can't do it. It's not really something that I'm proud of.

It's like when your arm or leg falls asleep,

It was a 128G (force of gravity) hit, ... It should have killed me. I'm just trying to look at my life now, figure out what's next.

I'm getting better. I'm not a 100 percent. I would say about 70.

I really want to help this team grow. This is also a great chance to work with a very promising driver.
