Ex -Indycar Mario Andretti He was questioned about the so -called “Curse Andretti” in 2011 while sitting with the car and the driver for an interview. The interview was published in the June 2011 issue as an 85 -year -old young man went to the curse that the family has plagued at the Indy 500.
Mario participated in 29 Indy 500 races during his four -decades career, his son Michael participated in 16, and his grandson Marco has so far participated in 19 races around the 2.5 mile oval. However, only Mario has managed to win the Fabled Race, which only once in 1969.
Mario Andretti was questioned in an interview on the curse. The interviewer also questioned the old F1 and Indicate Champion on the origins of the curse and who coined the term “Andretti Curste”.
“Well, the term” curse Andretti “did not come from us. I think my good friend, the late Announcer of Indy, Tom Carnegie, came to this. Obviously there were some disappointments, both on my side and from Michael, because we would dominate the race but we did not win,” said Mario Andretti.
“What I won was the most unlikely race to even end. But looking at my story in Indianapolis, I'm so proud and very happy with the success I had,” he added.
Mario, Michael and Marco finished all the Indy 500 as a runner -up on at least one occasion. Mario finished P2 in 1981 and 1985, while managing the Pole's position for the Indy 500 on three different occasions.
Michael Andretti He finished P2 at the Indy 500 and P3 of 1991 in the races of 2001 and 2006. Marco debuted in Indy 500 in 2006 and ended as a runner -up. It would end the Indy 500 three after its debut, but it has not improved its P2 result.
Marco Andretti It is still a semi-active controller. Although he retired from full -time racing at the end of the Indycar 2020 season, he continues to run as a single entry for Indy 500 out of each year.
