Marco Andretti believes there is a chance for him to finally return to the sharp end of the field and be in the fight for this year’s edition of the Indianapolis 500.
While Andretti has always been regarded as a threat during the Month of May, it has been a decade since he was in a proper battle for victory for the Indy 500. Although he won pole for the 2020 edition of the Indy 500, the last of his four podiums came in 2014. It has been especially challenging since becoming an Indy-only entry the last three years, with no finish higher than 17th.
” Andretti made it clear that Hampson was his wanted man. “I've actually pushed to get him back sooner than we got him back, but the higher-ups in the team missed that contract,” said Andretti, who is the grandson of 1969 Indy 500 winner Mario. “It really made me angry when I was driving because it was like, 'How do we miss getting him back?' But we got him.” Ryan Hunter-Reay, DRR-CUSICK MOTORSPORTS Chevrolet, with Robert Wickens, Andretti Global Photo by: Michael L.
