Marco Andretti skipping 2021 IndyCar season, but will run Indy 500

Marco Andretti will become a part-time racing driver for 2021 and only compete in the Indy 500 and possibly a few other events. The third-generation driver said he wants to take time "to reset."

The 33-year-old said he will still run the Indy 500 and possibly a couple of other races, depending on how the season develops and is considering doing some sports car racing in another series. Andretti won the pole position for last year's Indy 500 for his father Michael's team, but finished in 13th place, keeping his family's winless streak -- that stretches back to grandfather Mario's 1969 win -- intact. "I know that a victory there is in my future so we'll try to get that done in the coming years," he said.
