Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
Majeske CollectionMario Andretti started on the second row for the 1973 Indianapolis 500,
but was an early out due to a broken piston.
When Mario Andretti joined
Al Unser and Joe Leonard at Vel’s Parnelli Jones for the 1972 season, it was
expected this “Super Team” would dominate the Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar
circuit. As it turned out, those years were not a lot of fun for Andretti. In
1973 he started a strong sixth but was out after four laps with a broken piston
to finish 30th.
