Andretti faces tough odds to qualify for 11th Indy 500
Mario Andretti, missing the first qualifying weekend to race in Monaco, could race a Cosworth powered Parnelli or an Offenhauser Eagle. Neither backup is yet hitting the 182 mph target, with Unser already at 185.453 mph in an Eagle-Offy and Andretti at 175.029 mph on the Cosworth. A source close to the team says Mario will find a way, as Indianapolis still feels incomplete without him.
