Andretti Autosport

Lore & Background

The team was founded as Forsythe/Green Racing by Gerald Forsythe and Barry Green in 1993, and began competing in the CART Indy Car World Series the following year. Green and his brother Kim took over the team in 1995 and renamed it to Team Green. In 2002, the team was again renamed to Andretti Green Racing after 1991 CART champion Michael Andretti purchased a stake in the team; it began competing in the Indy Racing League in 2003. Andretti acquired full control in 2009 and rebranded the team to Andretti Autosport. The team restructured in September 2023 in pursuit of a Formula One entry and rebranded to Andretti Global, with Dan Towriss becoming a minority owner. In 2024, Andretti sold the team to Los Angeles Dodgers lead owner Mark Walter's TWG Global holding company, with Towriss staying on as co-owner and CEO.

In Their Own Story

In the Andretti garage, the crew chief ran a final check over the #11 car while Dario Franchitti sat in the cockpit, hands loose on the wheel, eyes already tracking the green flag that hadn't come yet. A few bays over, Marco Andretti watched the telemetry on a laptop, nodding to himself. The garage was quiet in that way only a family team can be — no corporate briefing, no media script, just the low hum of tire warmers and the occasional shouted instruction. When the field roared down the front stretch for the first time, the sound hit the grandstands like a physical wave, and somewhere in that noise, three generations of Andrettis were represented in a single race. The checkered flag would come later. The feeling of being part of something that had been running for decades, that would keep running after them, was already there.
