Andretti Motor Sports celebrates in style   

Thankfully, the Indy 500 is back and up to speed, bringing with it a whole lot of pent up interest in racing. Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering has been a part of the racing scene for years too, and she and her ‘racing team’ is excited to be asked to cater a lovely party for one of Indy’s premier racing families, the Andrettis, on Saturday May 29^th just ahead of the 2021 running of the Indy 500.

The Andretti family now includes multiple generations of racing superstars, beginning with Mario Andretti, one of the most successful Americans in the history of the sport. He is also one of only three drivers to have won races in Formula One, IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship, as well as NASCAR.

The event will be held at the gorgeous Andretti family home in Zionsville, for the friends and family of Andretti Motor Sports.

Set to begin at two o’clock, the party kicks off with some amazing butler-served hors d’oeuvres:
