Andy Granatelli: Motorsport Legend

2 years ago
576

Andy Granatelli was involved with cars from a young age, the race that would receive most of his interest was the so-called “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”: the Indianapolis 500. On the way he would make a name for himself both on and off the track, showing a flair for the dramatic, the determined, and the ingenuitive. All of this was more impressive because he started with almost nothing.
