Post by jdpirate »

:cry: Just heard that former NASCAR and Indy Car driver John Andretti (age 54) is battling Colon Cancer. From what I could find out so far, it is Stage 4.
Sad news...John is a super nice guy. My thoughts and prayers to John and his family as he fights for his life.

So sad....they are such a nice family....maybe with some of the new Cancer treatments, they will be able to help him.....Immunotherapy has given people cures when nothing else seemed to work...Thoughts and prayers for the Andretti family....

John's uncle, Mario Andretti, just tweeted that the hearse carrying John did a lap around Indy on the way to the cemetery. Godspeed, John.
