Andretti Falls Short at Milwaukee
What looked to be a successful weekend for Marco Andretti of Andretti Autosport turned sour mid-race at the Milwaukee Mile. Andretti held the pole position for the Saturday afternoon race and was one of the fastest during IndyCar practice. After leading many laps in the beginning of the race, problems in the pits pushed the team back. The gas hose got stuck in Andretti's car causing them to lose precious track position. Later on, after the pit incident, Marco slowed on track with no power in the car. Most likely an electrical issue. Andretti's car was pushed behind the wall to the garage as a disappointed Marco climbed to the top of the pitbox. After about 40 laps, the Andretti Autosport team was able to get Marco back out on the track to gain a few extra points and avoid a DNF. Marco is now running in 23rd, 47 laps down with 75 laps left in the race.
