1969, I was a 10 year old autograph seeker waiting in Gasoline Ally during practice. All of a sudden here comes A. Foyt, He walks directly up to me and say's hi kid grabs the program from my hands and signs boldly away! Still awaiting patiently! My moment has arrived. Here comes Mario. My heart is pounding away! I run up to him saying his name! He looks directly into my eyes & throws his hands up in the air and blows me off! Then 2 young Chicks nxt to me say Mario Romeo, He smiles and signs away

@SIGMAMAN69 i can almost guarantee that mario would trade his F1 title for another indy win. really only drivers can understand that

Also the first (and I believe only) win for Clint Brawner, one of the great mechanics of that era.

my favorite race car driver, of all times,

Yeah, he should have and deserved it after starting in the 7th row.
His tough luck there prevailed but what a guy.

Lloyd Ruby should have won the 69 race.
While Mario has had little but bad luck at Indy since then, I hardly doubt that he'd trade the incredible career that he's had (Indy 500 winner, Daytona 500 winner, 2nd most Indy car victories, four Indy car titles and a Formula 1 title) for one more Indy win. No disrespect to A.J. Foyt but Andretti, in my opinion, is the greatest driver ever.
