Michael Andretti posted 42 wins in his distinguished career and led more laps (431) than any driver that has raced in the Indy 500 without producing a victory. Mario Andretti, who ranks second on the all-time INDYCAR win list with 52 career victories, won the 1969 Indianapolis 500. Though an Andretti has been competing at IMS since 1965, Sunday will mark the first time that all three generations of the accomplished racing family will run together on the iconic 2.5-mile oval.

Legendary racer Mario Andretti will take his son Michael on a thrill ride in Honda’s Fastest Seat in Sports, before Mario’s grandson and Michael’s son, pole winner Marco Andretti, leads the NTT INDYCAR SERIES field to the green flag in the 104 th Running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” 21, 2020 – For the first time in its storied history, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) will host three generations of racing royalty on track together just before the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, Aug.

It would probably behoove NBC Sports to remind their celebrity passengers to keep it PG as best they can for the next Grand Prix.ĭid you watch the Monterey GP? Did you see the parade lap gaffee from Lele Pons? Let me know in the comments below.INDIANAPOLIS, Friday, Aug.

So, it’s understandable that Ms.Pons would scream something like that. There’s nothing like being inches from the ground at triple digit speeds flung around corners several times harder than you’d experience in a regular car. It’s the sensation of speed which catches non-racers like Lele Pons off guard. The speed trap caught them passing by at a breathtaking 133 MPH. While pace car duties are run at sub-100 MPH speeds, enough to keep Ind圜ar’s cool, Mario Andretti and Lele Pons were out front and were going well above pace car speeds. If you didn’t already know, Mario Andretti, one of America’s best open-wheel racers of our times, is behind the wheel of that Honda two-seater, a job he’s presumably happy to do for several years if it means getting paid to scare the cra* out of people. Unfortunately, Pons’s profanity filled exclamation overshadowed the real story behind the story, the 50th anniversary of Mario Andretti’s 1969 Indianapolis 500 win. Ind圜ar chose Pons to be the celebrity passenger for being a three-time Platinum singer, named one of Forbes “30 Most Influential people on the internet,” and for being one of Instagram’s most-watched stories producers of 2017.
