In the first chapter of Andrew Kurand's Next Level conversation with Mario Andretti, the two discuss Mario's early days growing up. After becoming a refugee in their own country, the Andretti's moved to America to seek new opportunities. After only a few days stateside, Mario and twin brother Aldo discovered their local short track, and the rest was history. Mario shares stories of hiding his racing career from his father, forging documents to race at underage, and creating a false news story that made it all the way back to the Italian press.
