Day 3 July 26/09 REXELL EDMONTON INDY

Hi there again, it was a slightly cooler day in Edmonton. Temperatures only 26 degrees Celsius!
Will Powers WON!
Marco placed 10th, Danika was 11th, and a scary moment when TONY KANAAN caught on fire on pit lane with Marco coming out of the pit right behind him!!!
I am glad that Tony is OK for the team but he did receive 2nd degree burns to both hands.
Marco drove great but couldn't seem to find the right set up for his car. It was a great three days here in Edmonton and good luck in Kentucky at… Continue

The Edmonton Connection....

Hello Everyone,
Today, July 23/09 in Edmonton....I met Marco at a fan appreciation signing.
I got some great pictures with Marco!
I also found out that he is a real fun guy and we shared a joke about his acting career at the age of 10!
Took lots of pictures and I can't wait to see him again at the track this weekend for the race!
I'll upload up more pictures as the weekend goes on....

Just wanted to say "thanks again" for the invite to teh autograph session. We met Marco a couple of more times during the Indy and he addressed David by name. Take care and talk to you real soon. We will have to compare pictures of the Indy and we will share ours with you. I apparently got some really great shots so we will compare and trade. Regards, Norm

In His Own Words

From Trackside Online:

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

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

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

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
