Marco Andretti’s medal position in Malaysia last year has earned him the chance to continue racing for A1 Team USA in Taupo next weekend.

The 21-year-old has been confirmed as racing for the Stars and Stripes in New Zealand, fresh from finishing in a strong third place in Sepang’s Feature race last November.

“I’m looking forward to the race in New Zealand”, said Andretti.

“I’ve never been over there, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it from [New Zealand IndyCar racer] Scott Dixon and I am looking forward to getting there. I know very little about the circuit, but I’m sure we’ll get up to speed pretty quick.

“It’s just great to be able to race this time of year. I love to drive and a lot of people aren’t getting that chance right now.”
