11, Mario Andretti, 1973 Viceroy Parnelli/Offy. 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 , for example, he started a strong sixth, but was out after four laps with
a broken piston to finish 30th.
