Mario Andretti

Mario Andretti was voted "Driver of the Century" in 1999, but his heroics on the race track take a back seat to his role as uncle to John Andretti. Mario's twin brother Aldo is John's father. Mario is known as a driver who could race and win in nerly anything on four wheels. His superlatives are nearly too many to list: Formula 1 World Driving Champion, IndyCar National Champion, winner of the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500 and 12 Hours of Sebring to name a few. He resides in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, just as he did when he and Aldo arrived in the United States as emigrants from Italy in 1955. The twin brothers celebrated their 80th birthdays in February.
