“We’re keeping that tradition going.”Īndretti, a four-time INDYCAR SERIES champion who won Formula One’s world title in 1978, is only a few weeks removed from getting the opportunity to drive a modern-day F1 car – a McLaren MP4/28, which he motored around WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, which has its first turn named in his honor. “She started that a few years back, and she loved it,” Andretti said. It became their annual place of holiday celebration.

On this Thanksgiving Day, much of the family is gathered with him at the Florida condo that Dee Ann, who died in July 2018, held dear. It’s the nearly 57 years married to his late wife, Dee Ann, their three children and seven grandchildren along with the work he still gets to do as he approaches his 83rd birthday.

Of course, it’s more than the accomplishments that made him one of the most decorated drivers in motorsports history. So much to be thankful for on and off the track. Mario Andretti has had a good month and a half, an extension of what has been a great life.
