Majeske collection Mario Andretti started sixth but was an early out in the 1973 Indianapolis 500. |
Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
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.
