Marco Andretti
IndyCar Liveries
Bryan Herta Autosport joined with
Andretti Autosport in 2016, winning
the 100th Indianapolis 500 with driver
Alex Rossi.  

Marco became part-owner in that
division creating the team, Andretti
Herta Autosport with Marco Andretti &
Curb-Agajanian.  

This year marked the 50th anniver-
sary of Mario Andretti winning the
Indianapolis 500.

In honor of that, Marco's Dallara
was painted similarly to Mario's
1969 Brawner Hawk Ford.
After announcing that he would be stepping away from full-time
IndyCar competition after the 2020 season, Marco returned to
compete in the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500.
This was his 16th start in the race.
Marco was 19 at his first Indy 500, the second youngest driver ever, at the time.  

After a 3-year hiatus from racing, his dad returned so he could race him.
(Michael Andretti was 21 at his first Indy 500 in 1984 - and raced his dad, Mario.)

Marco passed Michael for the lead of the Indy 500 on lap 197 of 200.  As Marco approached
the checkered flag, he was passed by Sam Hornish, Jr., who won by .0635 of a second.  
Michael finished in 3rd behind Marco.  

Like his father and grandfather, Marco was the Indy 500 Rookie of the Year.

In August, Marco became the youngest IndyCar winner when he won Sonoma.  
Marco was the 2006 IndyCar Rookie of the Year.
Michael Andretti returned for the final time to race in the Indy 500 and finished 13th.
Marco crashed and finished in 24th.  Dario Franchitti, driving for Andretti Green Racing,
won the race.
Marco had 4 podium finishes including 3rd in the Indy 500.
Marco won his first pole at Milwaukee, becoming the youngest driver to do so.
At Iowa Speedway, Marco won his 2nd IndyCar race.
Marco swapped his car #27 with Alex Rossi's #98
Marco won the pole for the Indy 500.

Marco returned to race in the 106th Indy 500, in which he led 3
laps.  He also raced in the Camping World SRX Series last year
and won the championship this year, competing against past and
current IndyCar and Nascar Cup champions.
During Indy 500 qualifying, none of the Andretti cars were fast
and Marco wasn't happy.  He qualified 24th and finished 17th.
He noted that this is his 18th Indy 500 and he is now 36, so he
has spent half his life doing Indy.

Marco will continue competing in the SRX series this year.
Marco qualified 19th and crashed on a restart on lap 114.
The No. 98 Honda was on the outside of Pato O'Ward
approaching Turn 1 when he lost control of the car.
Multiple attempts to save the car proved unsuccessful as
the car spun, eventually hitting the outside wall exiting
Turn 1 with the rear of the car.

Marco is racing in both the ARCA Menards Series and
NASCAR Truck Series in 2024.
Marco returned to the motor speedway with the same
sponsorship and livery that he had last year.

He qualified 29th for his 20th Indy 500.

The race was delayed an hour due to rain and it was an
unusually cold day.

During a restart on lap 4, Marco headed into turn 1 on
the outside of 3 other cars.  Contact was made with Jack
Harvey's car and Marco's car began to spin.  He slid into
the outside safer barrier, damaging the rear wheels and
ending his race before it could even get started.
RETIREMENT

10/30/25 - Marco Andretti announced his
retirement at age 38, from motor racing and
the Indy 500.  He raced in 20 Indianapolis 500s.

The son of 1991 CART IndyCar Series
champion Michael Andretti and grandson of all-
time great Mario Andretti had more podium
finishes than his dad and the same as Mario.

All 253 of Andretti’s IndyCar starts took place
with the team bearing his name.  
Miura, Marco & Billie Andretti - 2025
Marco Andretti retires, closing Andretti chapter at Indy 500.

0ct 29, 2025

To my family, friends, teams, sponsors, and fans who have genuinely
supported me for the last 30 years in motorsports, I want to thank you for
allowing me the privilege to continue our family’s passion on the racetrack.

I have had some really fun times behind the wheel in a lot of different types
of racing cars — a lot of great memories as well, mostly at the Indy 500.

Today, I am announcing my retirement from motor racing and the
Indianapolis 500. That totals 20 starts at the Speedway, which I feel so
fortunate to be able to say. That is ranked 12th all-time. Not bad for a
38-year-old.

I am proud of my overall stats at the Indy 500. I had six very legitimate
shots at victory with Andretti Autosport and ended up with 20% top-3
finishes at the Speedway. It feels accomplishing to me to be able to retire
having more podium finishes than my father Michael and the same as my
grandfather Mario at the biggest race in the world.

I will never forget the rare circumstance of getting to race my dad in the
closing laps for the win there — the pressure of participating in a dramatic
Bump Day in 2011 to a pole position in 2020. That is what the Indianapolis
500 produces: extremes on both ends. That is why I love and appreciate it
so much.

I am very much at peace with the next chapter in my life after dedicating
three decades to the sport. I will be prioritizing most of my time on being a
great father to my daughter, Miura, and tending to my other business
ventures.

I am also coming out with a memoir about my life called “Defending the
Dynasty.” Details coming soon on that.

2006–2025: Competing at the top level of North American motorsport is and
has been an honor for me, even in the tough times. That is where I can look
back and say I have made my best progress in life as a man. Learning to
navigate very difficult dynamics at times, and others doubting me, made me
realize that my opinion of myself is the one that should matter the most.

Lastly, a special thank-you to a lot of the people I respect in motor racing
for the kind words about my driving, work ethic, and true character.
