Widely regarded as the greatest race car driver of all time, Mario Andretti was born in Montona, Italy in February of 1940. Over the course of his career, Mario won 111 major events, capturing four IndyCar Championships, the USAC National Dirt Track Championship, the Formula One World Championship and the IROC Championship. As a testament of his success, he was named Driver of the Year in three different decades, Driver of the Quarter Century and, ultimately, Driver of the Century. He remains the all-time leader in IndyCar pole positions won (67), all-time IndyCar lap leader (7,595), all-time leader in IndyCar race starts (407) and the oldest race winner in IndyCar history at age 53.
