Versatility is a word that comes to mind when discussing John Andretti, a native of Bethlehem, Pa. With major victories in Indy cars and sports cars and experience in just about every other kind of race car, Andretti has achieved success in every racing series he's entered. Andretti has established that he's not just a jack-of-all-trades; he's no longer a curiosity from open-wheel racing, but a respected Nextel Cup Series driver. He made his Cup debut in 1993 and committed himself totally to NASCAR's elite series in 1994. After a variety of stops with different owners, Andretti settled in with Petty Enterprises behind the wheel of the storied No. 43. In 2003, he moved on to work with Dale Earnhardt Inc. The nephew of Mario Andretti (his father is Mario's twin brother Aldo) and the godson of renowned Indy car pilot and NASCAR and Indy Racing League owner A.J. Foyt, John has been a racer most of his life. From his days racing karts at the age of nine, he has had a perpetual focus on winning. John graduated with honors from Moravian College with a B.A. in business management. He co-owns two auto parts stores.
