They sure were. One of the videos captures it all pretty well. My recollection is that when the wheels came off there was a fair amount of smoke around, but that might have been a reaction to the extinguisher fluid. Word is the right front caused ...

Marco Andretti looks to carry on family legacy

By Keith McShea - Buffalo News

Marco Andretti is asked about the health of open-wheel racing, now that it is no longer speeding down two roads diverged in the sports world.

“I don’t see why we can’t get back to where it was, if not better,” he answers. “We have Danica, we have the names, we have the teams.”

He doesn’t have to say it, but one of those names is his.

Danica Patrick’s first name might be ubiquitous in auto racing in 2008, but the Andretti family name laps hers by decades.… Continue

John Andretti on the 'Daily Double' attempt in 1994

As told to CNN on the eve of Tony Stewart's double attempt in 1999.

"I was pretty worried when I went to bed that Saturday night. The weird thing was I usually go to bed worrying about the race car. That night, all I worried about was the weather. I was worried that it might rain in Indianapolis and it might not rain in Charlotte. A rain delay at Indianapolis was going to make it really tough to make the start of the race in Charlotte. A rain delay at Charlotte, at least at the start, wa… Continue

Iowa Post Race Interview - Marco & Mutoh

THE MODERATOR: On behalf of the Iowa Speedway, our second-place finisher this year, Hideki Mutoh, Andretti Green Racing. Congratulations.

HIDEKI MUTOH: Thank you very much.

THE MODERATOR: How did it run today? Looked pretty tight.

HIDEKI MUTOH: At beginning of race, my car wasn't as good as we thought it was yesterday. But I think one time I dropped like to 16th place, so we changed strategy, saving fuel for the last stint. And that really worked for the last stint.

I almost got Dan Wheldon,… Continue

Indy 500 - 3rd Place Press Conference

Marco Andretti comes in with another quality finish at Indianapolis. Marco, you were pushing at the end and came up short, but it was a really great run.

MARCO ANDRETTI: Yeah, just to answer everybody's first question, right now I think we made a little bit of a mistake in the middle, which turns out it was a team decision to trim out, and then I ended up they took front wing out but they never got to trim the car. So my stint after that, I had a lot of understeer, and then after that then we t… Continue

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
