JEFF ANDRETTI INDY CAR DRIVER ► INTERSTATE BATTERIES # 21 INDYCAR DRIVER PROFILE There'll Be No Looking Back For Jeff Andretti May 06, 1993|by PAUL REINHARD, The Morning Call Jeff Andretti won't be looking back when practice for the Indianapolis 500 opens this weekend because he's got too much reason to be looking ahead. The 29-year-old youngest of the racing Andretti clan wound up in the hospital after the 1992 Indianapolis 500 with injuries that some people said would bring an early end to his racing career. But Andretti fought his way back faster than even the optimists ever thought possible. By February, he was back behind the wheel of a race car, and he goes into the preparation stage of the most prestigious race in the world with a car that has gone faster than any he's ever driven. Pagan Racing was a racing team owned by Texas businessmen Jack and Allan Pagan. The team was founded in 1993 when the team purchased the CART IndyCar equipment of Kenny Bernstein’s King Racing. The team fielded a car for Jeff Andretti for the 1993 Indianapolis 500 who finished 29th after a crash.
