I am the moderator here at FanZone for GoMarco (the site administrator) & TSDG. But, I'm just a fan like everyone else. If I can help in anyway, message me here and I'll see what I can do !
I have taught high school Art for 11 years and also have a degree in Guidance Counseling. I grew up in Brownsburg, IN where Marco's Great Uncle Aldo lived. One of my parents first dates was to the Indy 500. I grew up listening to the 500 on the radio since it's blacked out of the Indpls media market ! I finally got to attend my 1st 500 in 2007. I've been an auto racing fan for as long as I can remember, it's hard not to be when you grew up so close to IMS & IRP !

Getting ready for a BIG change in my life !

Marco Andretti: It's easy to get down on the season we had, especially with the way it ended in Homestead, but it's over with and we can't go back. So that leaves us with having to find the good and learn from where we've been.

We didn't win races, but out of 17 starts we had 11 top-10 finishes. We finished eighth in the points - still inside the top 10. It wasn't a great season, but made we progress throughout the year.

It was a frustrating season, for sure, and it was… Continue

Teammates Andretti, Patrick insist they're at peace despite rumours

The Canadian Press-By John Kekis

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Marco Andretti smiled at the question.

Sure, there might have been a few hard feelings aimed at Andretti Green Racing teammate Danica Patrick after Saturday night's race at Texas Motor Speedway, but they already were forgotten.

"I just said what I was feeling," Andretti said Tuesday during a break in IndyCar testing at Watkins Glen International. "I was frustrated. But we talked it out. It's not the first time it's happened and it's… Continue

Thanks so much for the welcome. My son and I met Marco at an autograph session and my son made quite an impression on Marco with his personality and knowledge of INDY CAR. We saw him at the track a couple of times and he addressed him by name. Very cool considering the amount of people he must have met. Keep in touch. Photos will appear later. Regards, Norm

Yeah, no one knows what really goes on. Thats why you have to let it go! Whoever started the "less than kind" post about Marco should not be on this site. The person didnt get the memo that this is the "Marco Andretti Fanzone"

Motor oil runs in Andretti family's veins

Original article here

At the Andretti family resort, the members of a clan synonymous with speed enjoy no end of high-revving recreational choices.

There's a circa-1971 racing boat that Mario Andretti, the patriarch and motor-racing legend, has clocked at a top speed of 210 km/h. There are four-wheel off-road vehicles, motocross racers and jet-skis, a water-skiing boat and more.

And when winter falls… Continue

Marco Andretti tries to avoid another close shave at Texas Motor Speedway

By RAY BUCK rbuck@star-telegram.com

The Andretti name opens a lot of garage doors.

The latest benefactor is 22-year-old Marco Andretti, carrying the family baton now in his fourth year of IndyCar Racing.

Marco brings to open-wheel racing a familiar name and a fresh face ... uh, a Gillette Fusion-smooth face, if you believe the latest TV commercials in which he appears.

The 30-second spot was originally produced for Russian and Canadian market distribution, but has since taken a circui… Continue
