"Nothing is really different"- Marco Andretti opens up about driving for Andretti Global after change in management

Marco Andretti spoke about driving for the Andretti team despite changes in the ownership that took place in September 2024. His father, Michael Andretti, resigned from his role as the CEO of the company and the chairman of the Andretti Group. Michael Andretti has joined the company as a strategic advisor.

While talking to Bob Pockrass, Andretti was questioned if driving for the team feels different, as his father, Michael Andretti, is no longer the CEO. He responded, saying,

"Actually no, there's like still a bunch of the same people in the paddock, so it, nothing is really different right now...Well, we always looked at it as business anyway. That's why I was able to work for 20 years. Because yeah, we don't. You know, we try not to pull a family card on either side so."

Michael Andretti handed the company over to Dan Towriss. Marco Andretti drove for the team for the first time after the change in management at the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 that took place earlier this year.
