When Even IndyCar's Commentators Think You Suck
When Even IndyCar's Commentators Think You Suck-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:29

There’s a saying among track geeks when you suck: “other sports beckon.” In the case of IndyCar driver and Andretti family tree misfit Marco, maybe it’s “other drives beckon?” Listen as former IndyCar driver and series commentator Paul Tracy delivers the on-air burn of the year during the Watkins Glen race.

Tracy, who’s noticed years of Marco’s participation on teams also named “Andretti” and a bunch of unremarkable, non-Andretti-like results, isn’t even convinced Marco deserves any ride:

Well, I don’t know if there’s anywhere else [Marco] can go. The only other ride I could see him getting is maybe with Uber.

Cold, man. Just cold.

Marco drives for Andretti Autosport, and optimists and those who believe that all one needs to win a race is good breeding theorize that Marco may just need some distance from his father Michael, who just so happens to own the race team with his name on it.

There are also floating around that he’ll swap cars with 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi. Marco Andretti would then be on the Bryan Herta Autosport car that’s partnered with the Andretti team, and Rossi would be moved up to what’s largely considered the Andrettis’ de facto A-squad.

Don’t you know Uber runs background checks? There’s no way they’d be cool with a ride arriving in a cloud of smoke.
