    3rd generation behind the wheel, not as successful as the first & second generation.

    Marco Andretti will not run the full IndyCar schedule this season as the third-generation driver re-prioritizes his racing career.

    Beyond that, his schedule is open. Andretti will compete in the Indianapolis 500, the historic race his family has notoriously won just once, and assist Andretti Autosport with preseason testing and development. He will be in a car next week testing in Sebring, Florida.

    “Marco and I have discussed this at length. I support and respect his decision to take a focus on other areas of life, and maybe even other forms of motorsport,” team owner Michael Andretti said Friday of his son.
    Andretti followed his grandfather, father and cousins into IndyCar racing but has never found the same success as his famed family.

    I doubt Marco would have gotten a ride in Indy Car if he wasn't an Andretti.
    While Kyle Petty didn't have a great career Kyle's son Adam was looking like the real deal before his death.
