This will be a different 16th Month of May at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Marco Andretti, who, believe it or not, will tie his father, Michael, for the number of years competing in the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. The “500” will not only be the first NTT INDYCAR SERIES race on Marco’s 2021 schedule, it is planned to be his last. At IMS for this week’s Open Test, Marco is driving the No. For the first time since 2011, Marco will have Michael in that position, something both are excited about. Michael expects it to work better than it did a decade ago, when Marco was 24. “Marco is in a different place in his life now, very motivated to win this race. But Herta expects Marco’s program to work smoothly because it has continuity. “Marco is still part of ‘the family,’ and since we all know each other so well, it will be seamless.”.
