Marco Andretti retires from racing, ending an era for the Andretti family at the Indy 500

Marco Andretti, member of the famous Andretti racing family, announced his retirement from racing on Wednesday, likely ending his family's pursuit of another Indianapolis 500 victory.
Despite having several legitimate shots at winning the Indy 500 with his Andretti Autosport team, Marco's best finishes were six podium places, including two third-place finishes, equal to his grandfather Mario's record at the prestigious race.
Mario Andretti is considered one of the greatest race car drivers of all time, winning the 1978 Formula 1 championship, multiple IndyCar titles, the 1967 Daytona 500, and the 1969 Indianapolis 500- the family's only Indy 500 victory to date.
