Under the new mentorship program, the Wheldons will carry the Andretti shield into three national level karting series: Rok Cup USA, Super Karts USA and United States Pro Kart Series while competing with JC Karting. I think we will get to win a lot of races, just like my dad,” said Oliver, 10. “It would be so cool to race for Andretti Autosport one day. I hope Oliver and I can both win the Indy 500 too,” said Sebastian, 12. “I’m really excited to be a junior driver for Michael Andretti and follow in my dad’s footsteps. Already winning races in karting, the two boys are now on the path to winning their own “Baby-Borgs” by joining Andretti Autosport.

Karting is the first step, but we have hopes of helping foster promising Road to Indy, and eventually even INDYCAR opportunities.”ĭan Wheldon famously said that he had to win the Greatest Spectacle in Racing twice so that each of his sons, would have a Baby Borg Warner trophy. “No one will ever be able to replace Dan in their lives, but we’re happy to offer a network for mentorship to help the boys grow their careers. “Dan was family to us, and we had a lot of on track success together, we see a lot of Dan in both Sebastian and Oliver and are very proud to officially welcome them into our racing family,” said Andretti Autosport CEO Michael Andretti. Through its history, Andretti Autosport has been committed to developing driver, crew and engineering talent across its wide range of operations.

Andretti Autosport has announced an expansion to the team’s development efforts with the addition of brothers Sebastian and Oliver Wheldon as junior drivers.
