( Details ) Dimensions: 251 Pages | ISBN: 099929119X Published: June 2002 | On the Jacket Relentless determination, unrivalled charisma, and the ability to climb into any type of race car and win has made Mario Andretti a household name for more than thirty years. His accomplishments include four USAC and CART titles, the 1978 Formula One World Championship, winning the 1967 Daytona 500 and 1969 Indianapolis 500, and three victories in the grueling 12 Hours of Sebring sportscar race. Mario achieved his dream against enormous odds. As a boy in Italy he and his family lived under Nazi occupation, lost everything they owned, and emigrated to America in 1955. As a teenager he built his first Hudson stock car himself, and won his very first race on the dirt tracks of Pennsylvania. His unmistakable talent soon earned him seats in better, faster cars, but in those early years race-car drivers looked more like linebackers than jockeys, and Mario was frequently ridiculed for his slight build and for being Italian. But just six years after his first race he drove to his first USAC championship and was Rookie of the Year at the 1965 Indy 500. Mario continued to hone his racecraft by driving as many different types of cars as he could, building a career that would become unparalleled in its breadth, diversity, and success. For the first time, his extraordinary life story is presented through exclusive interviews with Mario, his family, and the drivers and teams he raced with. In-depth descriptions of his greatest races and cars, combined with behind-the-scenes team photos and commentary by Mario himself provide an insider's perspective on the progression of racing technology and the teamwork behind a winning effort. Mario Andretti: A Driving Passion documents the toughness, intelligence, and humor that makes Mario the man so compelling, and reveals the remarkable mixture of determination and luck – both good and bad – that defined his career as the most versatile and accomplished racer of all time.
