A brief history of the car:
The bright red STP car qualified second behind A.J. Foyt, took the lead in the first turn after the green flag fell and
then dropped back when engine temperatures started to rise. After A.J Foyt's Coyote/Ford and Wally
Dallenbach's Eagle/Offy both broke and hard luck Lloyd Ruby ruptured his fuel tank while leaving the pits with the
hose still attached, Andretti cruised on to lead 116 of 200 laps, including the last one. Despite keeping his speed
reduced in order to make it to the end – the Hawk was getting horrible fuel mileage, the clutch was going and the
engine was overheating terribly, but Mario still managed to finish two full laps ahead of second place Dan Gurney.
A true piece of Indy history.
