Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award as part of the Petersen Museum’s celebration of the 50 th anniversary of his Indy 500 win. He even won Pikes Peak and set a record at Bonneville.Īndretti recently came out to the West Coast to accept the Robert E. He won the Formula 1 world championship in 1978 driving a Lotus, he won four Ind圜ar titles, he won the Daytona 500, he won his class at Le Mans and in between all that he had a very successful career driving midgets and sprint cars. He’s certainly one of the most versatile. You could make a pretty good argument that he is the greatest race car driver ever, too.

Ask any old lady or young kid or anyone in between to name a “race car driver” and they’ll almost undoubtedly say, “ Mario Andretti.” It is utterly impossible that you’re on this website and you don’t already know Mario Andretti.
