Marco Andretti to step back from full-time IndyCar schedule this season

Marco Andretti will not run the full IndyCar schedule this season as the third-generation driver reprioritizes his racing career.

Andretti will compete in the Indianapolis 500, the historic race his family has notoriously won just once, and assist Andretti Autosport with preseason testing and development. He will be in a car next week testing in Sebring, Florida.

Beyond that, his schedule is open.

"Marco and I have discussed this at length. I support and respect his decision to take a focus on other areas of life, and maybe even other forms of motorsport," team owner Michael Andretti said Friday of his son.
