The 2024 IndyCar season was a disappointing one for Graham Rahal. The Rahal Letterman Lanigan driver finished 18th in the standings with a best finish of eighth place in the Hy-Vee One Step 250 at the Iowa Speedway on July 14.
For Marco Andretti, his only appearance at the Indy 500 in May was additionally dismal. He crashed out in the lap 114 restart after a yellow flag in lap 113.
Marco Andretti and his girlfriend Billie conclude 2024 with heartwarming Instagram posts
2024 was a special year for Marco Andretti and his girlfriend. They got engaged earlier in the year and waited till after the Indy 500 in May to announce it to the world. From IndyCar legend Danica Patrick to American rapper/actor Ludacris and more, congratulatory wishes poured in from all directions.
Just over two weeks after that, on June 17, the couple announced their pregnancy on Instagram and the to-be daughter's name, Miura Micah Andretti. Upon her arrival in September, Miura was featured all over their Instagram accounts.
On New Year's Eve, Andretti shared a post on Instagram capturing his top nine moments from 2024. Along with the engagement, pregnancy, and Miura's post-birth hospital photos, two Indy 500 photos and other personal memories including the baby shower and the four generations of Andrettis in one room made the cut.
In the comments section of the post, his girlfriend Billie wrote:
"The best year of my life, thanks to you 🤍✨"
Billie uploaded a 2024-wrapped video of her own on Instagram. It was a montage of clips of her journey from engagement through to the different stages of pregnancy, celebrations, and more. She captioned the post:
"2024 ✨ the best year yet with the loves of my life."
Professionally, Marco Andretti stepped in a more time-consuming capacity in the ARCA Menards Series in 2024. The 37-year-old drove for Cook Racing Technologies in 11 races and scored four Top 10 finishes in the No. 17 Chevy to finish 16th in the standings.
