Marco Andretti's girlfriend Billie Jo Powers shares heartfelt note on daughter Miura’s growth

Former IndyCar and NASCAR Truck Series driver Marco Andretti's girlfriend, Billie Jo Powers, shared a picture of their daughter Miura on social media. Marco and Billie welcomed their two-month-old daughter on September 17 this year.

They celebrated Miura turning two months last week as Billie shared a carousel of cute pictures of their infant. The wife of the third-generation Andretti racer also recently shared an Instagram story, captioned:

"Everyone says time flies but I cannot believe how much she's grown in a month.🥹"

On Miura's one-month celebration, Marco Andretti shared an adorable picture of her on Instagram, playfully nicknaming her "The Milk Monster."

Billie Jo Powers broke the news of her engagement with Marco earlier this year. Retired racer Danica Patrick, rapper Ludacris, and ex-IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe among others, shared congratulatory messages on Instagram.

During the pregnancy, Billie frequently shared updates on social media. She shared pictures of Miura's baby shower and her indoor and outdoor pregnancy shoots among other updates.

Miura's arrival in the world was wholeheartedly celebrated by the Andrettis. Michael Andretti's first wife, Sandra, was one of the first people to dedicate a post to her, calling her "God's masterpiece."

When Mario Andretti met his great-granddaughter for the first time, he was all smiles. The 84-year-old posted a photo on Instagram with Marco, who was carrying Miura, and Billie. The caption read:

"Got to meet my beautiful great granddaughter today. She’s so precious. Can’t wait to take her on her first snowmobile ride."

A month after that, the four-time IndyCar champion dedicated yet another post to Miura, but this one was even more special. All four Andretti generations were together - Mario, Michael, Marco, and Miura.

As of 2024, Marco Andretti dedicates most of his racing time to NASCAR. Though he stepped away from IndyCar in 2020, he continues to race in the Indy 500, finishing P25 this year. He also made his ARCA Menards debut this season, driving the No.17 Cook Racing Technologies Chevy.

His father, Michael Andretti, one of IndyCar's greatest drivers (now retired), stepped away from managing Andretti Global full-time in September this year, with Dan Towriss becoming a majority owner of the organization.

Mario Andretti, the oldest in line, is also a retired racer, having won the F1 championship in 1978 and four IndyCar championships in 1965, 1966, 1969, and 1984.

Earlier this year, Andretti Global's bid to enter F1 in partnership with General Motors was rejected by the Formula One Group (FOM).
