Evening With A Legend: Mario Andretti
Tonight, we have an opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans to you, sharing in the Legend of Le Mans with guests from different eras of over 100 years of racing. And as your host, I’m delighted to introduce a racing icon, considered by many to be the greatest race car driver in the history of the sport. Born in Italy, emigrating to the United States and beginning his career racing stock cars in Pennsylvania at 19. He won races in sports cars, sprint cars, stock cars and formula cars – on ovals, road courses, drag strips, on dirt and on pavement.
His achievements are legendary: The world watched as he won the Daytona 500, the Indy 500 and ultimately the Formula One World Championship, an unprecedented trifecta. Mario Andretti took the checkered flag 111 times during his career – a career that stretched five decades and across six continents, and includes 9 entries in the famed 24 Hours of LeMans!
