Andretti Green Racing’s Marco Andretti will be the team’s third driver of the XM Satellite Radio Acura at the season-opening American Le Mans Series event, the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, on March 15. Andretti will join Bryan Herta and Christian Fittipaldi.

"I'm really looking forward to getting into the XM Satellite Radio Acura,” Andretti said. I've had a chance to drive the car in a couple of tests and I've been very happy with it. The car has been really quick, fun to drive and has been incredibly durable. I'm just excited to be driving with Bryan (Herta) and Christian (Fittipaldi). I think I'll be able to contribute and, hopefully, run up front. My grandfather has won three times at Sebring and I hope to add my name to that list."
