Recent Work from Rich Zimmermann
November 10, 2025
Recently Marco Andretti announced his retirement from auto racing to focus on just his family.
He had a few shinning moments in his Indy Car career that were mostly at the Indy 500 where he got close a few times to winning but never got it done.
He won 2 Indy Car races in his career from 2006 to 2025 and competed in just about every form of racing. That includes Star Mazda, Indy Car Pro Series, Nascar, Formula E, International V8 Supercars, ARCA, Craftsman Truck Series, A1 Grand Prix, Infiniti Pro Series, Star Mazda, the American LeMans Series and won the Camping World SRX Championship in 2022.
His grandfather, Mario Andretti, and his father, Michael Andretti, were always coaching him and Mario could always be found in his pit area trying to help.
Marco didn't have the race craft of his father or grandfather, but he tried.
Enjoy retirement Marco with the family.
Here are a few photos of him from through the years.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

About Rich Zimmermann
Rich Zimmermann is an internationally collected photographer based in Milwaukee,Wisconsin.
Since 1971, I have photographed the Milwaukee area music scene. In addition to that, I have photographed many weddings and done many portraits. Some of my favorite portraiture has been that of Indy car drivers in pit lane and on the grid at racetracks around Wisconsin. The excitement and adrenaline rush I get photographing on pit lane is equivalent to the fun and excitement of photographing musicians on stage or backstage!
