One of the greatest pure driving talents this world has ever seen. He won in everything he drove. F1 World Champion, INDYCAR/USAC champion, Indy 500 winner, Daytona 500 winner, sprint cars...... everything.

My father was there. I have super 8 movies of the pits and the race. The close ups of the cars and Mario Andretti in the pits are so cool.

Those were some of the best looking Indy Cars ever.

I was 7 years old in 1969 when Mario won the 500. He was my first hero.

I was sitting in grandstand L outside of turn 3 with my family at this race, and as a 17 year old, I can still remember the buzz about Mario before and during the race. I believe that most of the fans there that day was pulling for him, especially after that horrendous crash he had just days before. Looking back now these 50 plus years later, if you'd told me in 1969 that there would be so many more Andretti's race in the 500 in the future (including Mario), but only one Andretti face would be on the Borg Warner trophy, I doubt anyone would've believed it. It just proves how hard it is to win at the Brickyard.

Mario Andretti is one of my heroes. I met him in 2017 and he was just aa wonderful in person as he was on TV.

Mario is a young man there.. seing him at Monza, when Peterson was injured and later died. The years of hard spells and terrible accidents are not easy to handle. Amazing life to have lived

Loved the cars of that era.

My favorite Indy, my favorite driver won, I graduated from high school the day before and 8 day later I went into the US Navy. 1969 was a very exciting year for me.

Ahhh...Wide World of Sports. Sounds of my childhood.

Probably the best 500 race of all time.

My Uncle and I watched the race on a closed circuit broadcast at a movie theater in Detroit, quite exciting.

Beautiful cars driven by lions. The golden era.

"The Grantelli Jinx is Dead!"
...to be replaced by The Andretti Curse starting a year or two later.

My one and only trip with my father,uncle and grandfather. Mario won his only Indy 500 ,but only because the leader's car broke. I dont remember who but it was good to see Mario get his first and only. And I was there. Go Nazareth fans

That ABC intro sure brought back memories

Oh, how that classic Wide World of Sports opening takes me back to many Saturday afternoons of the 1970's. The sports scenes of the opening are different than from later seasons, particularly missing the ski jumper that fell off the ramp. I was only 7 when this race aired, and I don't think I watched the Indy 500 until 1972 on the full, same-day delayed telecast. But Mario Andretti became my first hero when he won this race. Too bad he didn't win at least two more: '81 and '87.

Swimmin at Dolphin club that day. Steve Fleetwood mentioned that he heard Mario Andretti won while we were swimmin. Another Great memory in my life.

The day before this race I managed to sneak in the track and ended up on pit lane during the driver ceremony. I was 18 at the time. I got to meet Mario and AJ in the pit lane. Best of all I got a picture of myself in the pace car sitting in the driver' s seat. I now at the age of 73 still have the pic mounted on my living room wall.
