Marco Andretti, 19-year-old Indy Racing League rookie phenom and son of driver Michael Andretti, upheld the family tradition his father began in 1984 when he failed to win the Indianapolis 500 last Sunday despite leading all but the last seconds of the final lap. 'Dad has led the most laps at Indianapolis without winning, and now I just came in second in one of the closest finishes ever,' said the younger Andretti, who like his father was also voted the 500's Outstanding Rookie despite not winning. 'I'm feeling really close to my father right now. And that sucks.' Mario Andretti, Marco's grandfather and father to Michael, was quick to inform reporters that he won the Indianapolis 500 in 1969, the Daytona 500 in 1967, the Formula One world championship in 1978, and is friends with actor Paul Newman.
