Andretti told the Indy Star in 2018 that he was already past the age he “should have lived to” as a driver. He added that he was going to give it “the strongest fight” he could, which he absolutely did.
John was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer back in 2017. His scans were clear after treatment, but the cancer returned early last year.
Rest In Peace #JohnAndretti. The best godfather. Your passion for Motorsport was admirable. Always the good ones we lose too soon. #checkit4andretti pic.twitter.com/WtpSPDzdsV
