A successful two-day test at Sebring source: irl.racing-live.com Marco Andretti completed his first IndyCar test earlier on Monday at Sebring International Raceway. The two-day session, held at Sebring's 1.6-mile road course and observed by Kevin Blanch, IRL Technical Manager, represented Andretti's initial test session in the #26 ArcaEx machine as well as his first opportunity to work and interact with the ArcaEx crew. The 18-year old Andretti is entering his rookie season in the IndyCar Series but has been competing in various levels of motorsports since the age of nine. Most recently, he participated in the 2005 Star Mazda Series on a full-time basis, placing fifth in the final championship standings while registering three top-fives over 12 events. He also competed in six IRL Indy Pro Series events, earning three victories from the pole (St Petersburg, Indianapolis road course and Infineon Raceway) in six outings. Marco Andretti "Everything was a bit of an unknown to me until I got into the car, but now the questions are starting to be answered. So in that regard it was good to finally get some time in the ArcaEx car. It was great working with Eddie Jones and the #26 crew and getting to know what they need from me. It will take a little time, but we made good progress."
