HeadSet Sports - Episode 42 - Interview with Jarett Andretti

If you are a motorsports fan or simply in awe of "Racing Royalty"you are going to LOVE this interview. Jarett Andretti is the son of former Indy and NASCAR great - John Andretti. In January of 2020, John lost his battle with cancer. But during his fight, he decided to bring more awareness to the importance of attaining regular colonoscopies. In doing such, he and his family created the Check it 4 Andretti Foundation (checkit4andretti.org) which provides FREE colonoscopies to those in need. In 2021, Jarett decided to pursue the family tradition of becoming a professional race car driver. Jarett is the grandson of Aldo Andretti who is the brother of Mario Andretti. He competes in the IMSA SportsCar Championships. As a member of Andretti AutoSport, Jarett and his team compete in the LeMans-like racing series where he and his teammates race around the clock for 24 hours. (This form of racing was displayed in the recent movie "Ford vs Ferrari" starting Christian Bale and Matt Damon). During this interview Jarett explains some of insightful nuances of motorsports compared to the many main-stream sports many will experience throughout their youth and adolescents. But in doing such, he opens our eyes and attention to some of the mental aspects needed to be successful on and off the track. Jarett also sheds light on how varying personalities and perspectives of being competitive exist within professional race car driving.
