"From the street, Mario Andretti may have seemed like just another average kid. But behind the wheel of a racecar, he was a force to be reckoned with. With109 career wins on major circuits, Andretti was one of the most successful drivers in history. He was the only person to be named United States Driver of the Year in three decades (1967, 1978, and 1984). And, with his final IndyCar win in April 1993, he became the first driver to win IndyCar races in four different decades and the first to win automobile races of any kind in five." Mario Andretti is a retired racing driver who was one of the most successful Americans in the history of the sport. He is one of only two drivers to win races in Formula One, IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship and NASCAR, as well as winning races in midget cars, sprint cars, and drag racing. Andretti also won the 1978 Formula One World Championship and IROC VI. Andretti is still the only driver to ever win the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500 and the Formula One World Championship.
