1004:: At the start, Mario and his son Michael led the field into the first turn. Michael came around in first, and Mario already a somewhat distant second. On the 5th lap, a caution came out. Mario ducked into the pits with a misfire. After several pit stops, the problem was fixed and he returned to the track, but dropped down the standings a lap down. Later in the race, Mario pitted for tires, and cross-threaded a wheel nut. He was again shuffled down in the running order. A few moments later, on a restart, he crashed in turn four. He was among several front-runners to crash due to cold tires on the unusually cold afternoon. Mario suffered broken toes, and was taken to Methodist Hospital in downtown Indianapolis for surgery. A short time later, Mario's son Jeff shattered both of his legs in a terrible crash, and was also taken to the hospital. Both required considerable rehabilitation, although Jeff's was significantly more severe. Back at the track, Mario's other son Michael was dominating the race, and looked poised to win. However, with 11 laps to go, his car quit, and he was out of the race. Ironically, the rival Unser family prevailed over the dismayed Andrettis yet again, with 904:: Mario was among the favorites for the front row, but on the morning of pole day the car began suffering handling problems. His qualifying run was disappointing, as the car was loose. Mario managed to qualify 5th, and was beat by his son Michael who qualified 3rd. Four days later during a practice run, Mario badly wrecked the car in turn three. Something broke in the right rear, sending the car into a hard spin, and it hit the outside wall with the right side. Mario suffered lacerations to the left heel and abrasions to both knees, but no major injuries. The car was sent to England for repairs but it was too damaged to return in time. On race day, Mario drove a backup car, and was forced to move to the rear of the field. His day was over very early on as the car coasted to a halt on lap 9. He was towed to the pits where the crew changed the spark box and battery. The car still was lacking power, and he dropped out on lap 19, placing 32nd. 1995:
truth, and though at first he hesitated, he eventually relented. Here’s what he thinks went wrong: The team changed out the engine for Carb Day. He says that he went on track, did one run, decided the car was about 1.5 mph slower than before and begged his bosses to put the old engine back in. The manufacturer tested both engines and didn’t find any difference. The team told him there was no car speed problem and furthermore, didn’t want to incur a potential penalty for swapping out engines again. “Nobody wanted to believe me, including the high-ups here,” Marco Andretti said. “I said, ‘We’re done. If you don’t put that other engine in, We’re out.’ 
 We were the dominant car until that change was made. I just felt like I wasn’t listened to for the amount of experience 15 years should be listened to.” On race day, Marco is a non-factor, falling back to 13th place on the lead lap, he completed all 500 miles, leading no laps.
1801:
said. Clearly, the disappointment has not softened. "I took a lot of criticism for my reaction then," he says. "But I don't see much value in second place. I'm still bothered by it. I never lifted. If I had put my foot down any more, it would have gone through the floorboard. It was all about speed at the end, and I have no idea how they could have put up the numbers they did on that last lap. It's still fishy." He is asked what the Hornish team could have done. "There are things," he says. With that, the topic, still obviously a bad memory, is closed. August 20, 2020, "When I lost the 500 in 2006 you saw me mad because I knew that it's possible that 15 years later I'm talking to you guys and I haven't won one yet, so that's why I was so mad cause it's a tough place, I mean last year (2019) I had the worst race of my career and here we are we can win it."
625:: Pole day was scheduled for Saturday May 11, but rain would interrupt the session. During practice, Mario Andretti was having trouble getting his Viceroy Parnelli up to speed, and considered switching to his backup car, an Eagle. At the qualifying draw, Mario picked 43rd in line for the Parnelli, but 21st in line for the Eagle, leading some to further conjecture he might try qualifying the Eagle. When rain closed the track for the day, Mario was left waiting in line, and had to wait until the second weekend of time trials to qualify. On the following Saturday, Mario rebounded, putting the Eagle in the middle of row two. On race day, Mario suffered yet another early drop out, completing only 2 laps. He dropped out with a bad valve, and placed 31st. 547:. Mario's chief mechanic, veteran Clint Brawner was promptly fired. Andretti and the younger, up-and-coming mechanic Jim McGee stayed on with Granatelli. It has been suggested that this ugly divorce within the team was the impetus of the curse, as allegedly, Brawner's wife Kay subsequently put a hex on Andretti. During a practice run on May 11, Mario Andretti crashed coming out of turn four. A universal joint yoke failed on his McNamara, and he hit the inside wall down the mainstretch. The car was badly damaged, but Andretti was unhurt. He would be forced to qualify in a back-up car. On pole day, gusty winds kept his speeds down, and with only 35 laps of practice in the car, he qualified for the dreaded " 1331:: Michael out-qualifies his father Mario and starts on the outside of the front row. He proceeds to lead the first 42 laps, and is among the fastest cars on the track. A bad set of tires caused handling problems in the second half of the race and he is forced to pit early, slightly out-of-sequence with the other leaders. Right after he pit, a caution came out, and Michael fell a lap down. Back on the lead lap, and clinging to 4th position, just shy of being lapped, he is forced to the pits for a splash-and-go pit stop on lap 193. The caution came out moments later, he fell a lap down again, and dropped to 6th at the finish. 891:, passed Mario for the lead in turn one on the 120th lap, but immediately spun into a 360. Andretti somehow avoided contact and regained the lead, while Sullivan managed to keep the car off the wall and drove away. Both drivers pitted under the ensuing caution. About 20 laps later, Sullivan passed Mario again, this time cleanly, to go on for the win. Mario was a pre-race favorite, and had described the 1985 race as his "best chance to win" perhaps in his career, but managed only a disappointing, and somewhat distant, 2nd place. Sullivan broke a separate 68-year 'curse' by winning from the so-called " 645:, where he dropped out. Mario returned to qualify on the second weekend of time trials. He had the seventh-fastest speed, but as a third day qualifier, he would line up 27th. On race day, Mario suffered handling problems early on which sent him to the pits. While exiting the pits, the car stalled several times due to a clutch issue, and the crew had to pull the car back to its stall. The crew bled the clutch, which cost Mario nine minutes in the pits, and he lost several laps out on the track. On lap 68, a sudden mechanical failure sent his car crashing hard into the inside wall on the backstretch. 1805: 459:: On pole day, looking to become the first driver to win three consecutive poles, Mario Andretti qualified 4th, but not without all sorts of trouble. Twice the team had to wheel the car back to the garage with fouled spark plugs, then he burned a piston, requiring an engine change. Mario managed the inside of the second row (167.691 mph), but he could not get anywhere near the front row, all three of whom broke 170 mph. On race day, Mario suffered a stuck wastegate and piston failure on lap 2, and finished in last place. A few minutes later, he climbed into the car of his teammate, 924:: Mario dominated the 1987 event, and in fact, the entire month of May. He won the pole position, the pit stop contest, and led the daily practice speed chart nearly every day he took practice laps. Driving the new Ilmor Chevy Indy V-8, He led 170 of the first 177 laps, giving up the lead only during pit stop sequences. He had such a big lead that he backed off, but the reduced revs created a harmonic imbalance in the engine. A valve spring broke with only 23 laps to go, and the car coasted to a stop. It was considered one of his most shocking defeats. As a cruel ironic side note here, 1261: 5261: 5224: 5187: 5149: 5108: 5070: 4974: 4937: 4896: 4858: 4820: 4779: 4735: 4698: 4660: 4623: 4585: 4547: 4509: 4471: 4434: 4396: 4355: 4314: 4273: 4232: 4194: 4156: 4118: 4080: 4042: 4004: 3966: 3928: 3890: 3853: 3815: 3777: 3739: 3702: 3665: 3627: 3589: 3551: 3510: 3472: 3413: 3375: 3337: 3299: 3261: 3223: 3185: 3147: 3109: 3071: 3007: 2969: 2931: 2893: 996:, on the outside of turn one. One lap later, Mears pulled the same move, and re-took the lead for himself. Mears began to pull away, and Michael's hopes for victory began to fade. Suddenly Mario coasted to a stop at the entrance to the pits, bringing out the caution. A mild controversy emerged when observers speculated that Mario had stopped on purpose to help Michael. The field bunched up under the yellow, which gave Michael one last chance to challenge for the win. Mears held off Michael for the win, and the controversy eventually fizzled. 189: 397:: Mario Andretti made a solid debut at Indianapolis, qualifying 4th and finishing 3rd. On pole day, Mario was one of the first cars on the track and he delighted the crowd with a fast run of 158.849 mph. His fourth lap of 159.405 mph was a new one-lap track record at the time. Though his time sitting on the provisional pole position was short, he still managed to qualify for the inside of row two. On race day, Mario was running a strong third late in the race. He was even within striking distance of second place after 964:: Mario Andretti qualified 5th and led the race on lap 35, but soon began experiencing mechanical issues. On lap 90, Mario was forced to the pits to diagnose a throttle problem. After a four-minute pit stop to make repairs, and after losing several laps, Mario returned to the track. Mario charged through the field, and found himself running 4th at the finish, albeit 7 laps down, which is considered an unusually large deficit for fourth place in the modern era. The 1989 race marked the first year he was teamed-up with his son 871:: On his first qualifying lap, Mario set a one-lap track record, and appeared on his way to a front row starting position. On the fourth and final qualifying lap, his car quit coming off of turn four, and he coasted across the finish line. His average speed dropped to 6th on the starting grid, and he would line up behind his son Michael. On race day, Mario was in contention to win most of the afternoon, but a broken exhaust pipe was causing his engine to lose rpms. On lap 154, he came into the pits for a routine stop, but 2062: 718:: Mario squeezed in another attempt at Indianapolis during his full-time Formula One effort. Mario planned to qualify at Indianapolis during the first weekend of time trials (which was an off-week for Formula One). He was quickly up to speed during practice at Indy, running an "unofficial" track record of 203.482 mph. He went into the weekend as a favorite for the pole, but the first two days of time trials were rained out. He was forced to leave and go back to Europe for the 1291:. He has completed the most laps, as well as led the most laps, of any driver who has never won the famous race. He is considered by some the best driver never to have won. Unlike Mario, on average Michael seldom dropped out early, and was in contention numerous times. His career was peppered with more near-misses than out-and-out failures. Furthermore, the years he dropped out were almost exclusively due to mechanical failures; only once did he drop out from wall contact. 956:. On race day, his car was plagued with problems. About 30 laps into the race, a gearbox bearing failed and created an oil leak. A long pit stop was needed to make repairs. Later in the race, an ignition problem forced another series of long pit stops to change various electrical components. With the leaders passed lap 170, Mario was about 50 laps down when the team finally called the day quits with a dead engine. Mario was credited with 118 laps in 20th place. 475: 908: 2151: 1902:. On race day, he started 27th, and worked his way into the top ten. Marco was called into the pits to top off with fuel during a caution on lap 154, and to make a trim adjustment of the rear wing. The stop put Marco out of sequence with the other leaders, but ended up being a poor decision. Marco lost valuable track position when another caution came out 4 laps later, and the adjustments made his car difficult to handle. He ended up 9th. 332: 1839:: Returning for his third Indy 500, Marco posted the fastest practice speed of the month, 228.318 mph, the morning of pole day time trials. Initially a favorite for the front row, his qualifying effort, however, was a visibly disappointing 7th. On race day, Marco was a strong contender, and led in the second half, but was not without incident. On the 106th lap, Marco was battling for second and dove under teammate 1379:. Michael qualifies in the pole round, but his time is disallowed for being 4.5 pounds underweight. He is forced to qualify as a second-day qualifier, and starts deep in the field. In one of his better races to date, Michael works his way to the lead in the second half. After leading 35 laps, his engine blew on the mainstretch just past the 400-mile mark. Despite losing at Indy again, in August, Michael wins his second 706:. The weather cooperated on pole day, allowing Mario to qualify as scheduled, but engine issues prevented him from having a chance at the front row. After waving off his first attempt, Mario managed to qualify on the outside of row two. On race day, Mario dropped out after 47 laps with a broken header and placed 26th. In Formula One, however, Andretti placed 3rd in the championship. The World Champion in 1977 was 33: 859: 1575:: In the wake of the 2006 near-miss, Michael returns for yet another encore, but experiences little success behind the wheel. He led one lap during a sequence of pit stops, but finished a lowly 13th. After the frustration, and in an effort to concentrate on his team cars, Michael announces he will again retire from driving. Meanwhile, the day was not a total disappointment, as Andretti-Green team driver 1477:: Michael follows suit with other CART teams and returns to race at Indianapolis. He leads 16 laps, and is leading the race during a rain delay just beyond the halfway point. Had the race been halted due to the rain, he could have been declared the winner. The red flag, however, does not come out at the time and the race resumes. A punctured tire, and a minor collision in the pits with eventual winner 1821:: In a rain-interrupted race, Marco was a front runner for most of the afternoon. Marco took the lead on lap 102 during a caution, and rain was swiftly approaching the Speedway. Since the race was beyond the halfway point, if rain washed out the remained of the race, it could have been declared official. With the weather in mind, the restart on lap 107 could have decided the race. 430:: Mario Andretti became the fifth driver in Indy history to win back to back pole positions. His third lap (169.779 mph) was new one-lap track record. Striving to break the 170 mph barrier on his fourth and final lap, his car slipped, and he fell short. He still managed a record four-lap average of 168.982 mph, and won the pole by a comfortable margin. Meanwhile, 1404:
steals the thunder as he makes exactly the same counter-move and quickly pulls out to a lead. Moments later, Michael's father Mario suddenly coasts to a stop at the entrance to the pits. The yellow flag flies again, and bunches up the field. Many accused Mario of stopping on purpose in a ploy to aid his son. Whatever the case, the point was moot as Mears, driving for car owner
2374:. On the second day of qualifying, he badly crashed his primary car, and the team was forced to make repairs, since he had no backup. On Bump Day, John's first attempt was bumped, and his second attempt was too slow. He finally made the field on his third attempt with 5 minutes remaining in the day. On race day, he was the last car on the lead lap, finishing a mediocre 19th. 447:
charging through the pack, passing many cars and posting some of the fastest laps of the race up to that point, On his 58th lap, he began to feel a vibration, and decided to slow down. A few seconds later, his right front wheel came off. He dropped out of the race and placed 30th. Despite 8 wins during the season, the poor finish at Indy likely cost Andretti the
422:'s crash on lap 6 extended the yellow through lap 16. When the green flag came finally out on lap 17, Mario's engine was smoking and he lost power. Running slowly under the caution light for the extended period of time had apparently caused overheating. The engine broke a valve, and would drop out after only 27 laps. Due to the depleted field, he placed 18th. 769:: No date conflict in 1980 allowed Mario Andretti to return to Indianapolis again during a Formula One off-week. His results were much of the same though. After leading 10 laps early in the race, going into turn one on lap 71, the engine quit. Mario was running third at the time, but dropped out and finished 20th. It was his final start at Indy for car owner 2084:: Jeff's first attempt at Indy wound up short. He had a wreck during practice the day before pole day, which coupled with several days of rain, kept him off the track for nearly a week. He completed a qualifying run on the third day of time trials, but his speed was 4th-slowest. On bump day, he was bumped from the field with less than 15 minutes remaining. 785:. In what would become one of the most controversial races in Indy history, Unser was stripped of the victory the following day when the official results were posted. Unser was penalized for passing cars under a caution flag, and Mario Andretti was declared the winner. It was (tentatively) Mario's long-awaited second Indy victory. Unser and his car owner 1240:. While showing potential to win the race, a number of disorganized mishaps, including being pulled over to the pits at the closing period while leading the race to clear grime off the car to make the sponsor's decal visible, resulted in a 2nd place. His efforts for the following years proved to be unsuccessful with a 13th place for 1399:: Michael leads 97 laps, later saying in 2011, "I really didn't think that anybody had anything for me at that point. I was ready to put Rick a lap down and his day would have been over, and I get a flat tire, so I had to come into the pits right away, and that's the thing that changed the race." With 18 laps to go, he leads 1918:: Marco qualified for the outside of the front row and led a total of 31 laps. Running 4th on the final restart with four laps to go, Marco attempted to pass Carlos Munoz for third place. Munoz held off the challenge, as another caution came out, freezing the field and effectively ending the race. Marco placed 4th. 2104:: During the first half of the race, the rear brake rotors kept slipping out of place. Just after the halfway point, the right rear wheel hub broke from his car at turn 2 and he crashed violently head-on into the wall, severely injuring both his legs. He placed 18th, and required a long recuperation. 2032:
in the #98 Honda, Marco started a disappointing 24th after posting the 2nd fastest lap on "Fast Friday" practice at 234.202 mph, the 2nd fastest ever, Marco's fastest lap ever and fastest since his 2020 pole position run, he finished 17th as last car on the lead lap, is never a factor, completing all

During the test session, it was noted by many observers that despite his lack of experience in modern Indy cars (which had changed substantially since his retirement) and his advanced age (63), he quickly reached competitive speed. He was quickly over 212 mph, and looked "as if he had never been
