Third-generation racer Marco Andretti made a successful leap to the IndyCar Series in 2006 after three seasons
competing in various junior formula series and Firestone Indy Lights.
But Andretti's rapid rise shouldn't come as a surprise given his lineage. He is the son of IZOD IndyCar Series
team co-owner and Indianapolis 500 veteran Michael Andretti and grandson of auto racing legend Mario
Andretti. Through all the notoriety, Marco has been able to keep a level head. "To be honest, I've been dealing
with it since I first stepped into a go-kart. It's been all eyes on me and at 9 years old that's a lot. It gets easier, I
get better dealing with it as I get older but the pressure gets heavier and heavier. I do what I love to do and
that's drive race cars."
A graduate of Notre Dame High School in Bethlehem Township, Pa., Andretti is an avid sports participant.
