 Fanball.com » Fantasy Review: John Andretti - December 2, 2003
The 1998 and 1999 seasons were career makers for Andretti: he earned 20 of his 37 total top 10s during those years, as well as his last victory to date.
John Andretti was not the problem with the team: in 2003 he earned four of Petty Enterprises six top 20s, but the opposite side of that coin revealed he also scored three of their five finishes worse than 35th.
After being released by Petty Enterprises, Andretti drove for four different teams in the final 15 races of the 2003 season and earned another six top 20 finishes… and it is this flexibility that impressed DEI enough to put him back in the seat for 2004.
