Marco Andretti set for Indy 500 return with Andretti Global

While Marco Andretti came up with a positive update regarding his calf injury recently, two months back, it was announced that he will return to IndyCar at this year's iconic Indy 500 event.

The 37-year-old will make his 20th Indy 500 outing with Andretti Global as an additional fourth entry from the team. In relation to this, the COO of the team, Doug Bresnahan, said:

"Our partnership with MAPEI over the 2024 season was such an excellent addition to our Andretti IndyCar program. The constant of the MAPEI brand on Kyle Kirkwood’s #27 throughout the full season paired with MAPEI’s increased presence as the primary partner for Marco Andretti’s #98 at the 2024 Indianapolis 500 was the perfect way for our team to expose a new partner to all the great opportunities the NTT IndyCar Series has to offer, and we are honored to have MAPEI back on board in 2025 for what is sure be another exciting season."

For the ongoing 2025 IndyCar season, Andretti Global has got the 2024 runner-up Colton Herta, 51 Grand Prix starter Kyle Kirkwood, and the former Formula 1 driver /Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson as its full-time drivers.

Marco Andretti will be the fourth entry and will participate in the much-anticipated May event with car No. 98. Interestingly, the 37-year-old has competed in all the Indy 500 events since 2006 but is yet to score a victory in the same. His last IndyCar outing also came at last year's Indy 500 event.
