Mario Andretti

SINCE THE FIRST 500, A CENTURY AGO, THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY HAS BEEN THE SETTING FOR SOME OF RACING'S MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS, AS TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY PLAYED OUT AROUND THE 2.5-MILE OVAL. TAKE A LAP....

HE MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE-KNOWN 26-YEAR-OLD, BUT EVEN THEN MARIO ANDRETTI'S WAS A NAME TO REMEMBER

The only man to win the Indy 500, the Daytona 500 and an F/1 title remains rooted in racing as patriarch of open wheel's first family

The race for speed was on

Many of the best drivers in NASCAR and Indy racing first proved their worth in the grit of ELDORA SPEEDWAY, pushing sprint cars to the limit
