There’s no bigger name in the sport of racing than Mario Andretti. Considered by many to be the greatest race car driver in the history of the sport. He’s often listed among legends like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan.

His achievements became legendary: The world watched as he won the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 and ultimately the Formula One World Championship, an unprecedented trifecta. No other race car driver has ever won all three titles. Mario took the checkered flag 111 times during his career – a career that stretched five decades and across six continents.

He was named Driver of the Century, he was knighted by his native Italy, and the Library of Congress in Washington DC added him to its Living Legends list. You may recognize his name and voice from the Pixar Movie Cars, or from GQ magazine where he was named one of "The 25 Coolest Athletes of All Time".
