getting an interview with Mario Andretti to talk about Kmart is the most David Land thing I’ve ever seen lol

[@edwardburek1717]

Hey, what's the deal with Kmart these days? Is it true that there are now only four of them in the entire United States?

[@Hehehehhehehehehehehehhe78]

@@edwardburek1717 a lot of them are gone. We had a few in New mexico but they're all gone.

[@stephenbritton9297]

Let me tell you a story about Mario... A few years ago at Road America. I'm hanging out in the garage area. Qualifying is just wrapping up, and Mario leaves the pits and is headed for his golf cart. An older woman in the crowd shouts "Its Mario!!!" and runs up to him. He signs an autograph, and poses with her for a photo. Then another person comes up, then another. He was there for like 12-15 minutes signing things and taking photos. Big smile on his face, enjoying it. That what I like about Indycar and Mario!

[@Buynot]

From Bandwagoner's Guides and the Indycar Redpill to getting insider scoops Mario Andretti himself. Amazing to see how far you've come! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the future.

[@brendan7632]

Props for staying cool under pressure. Can’t imagine what was going thru your head 😂

[@IrvinAlvarado44]

The best interview thus far, I guess this is the pinnacle of the work you put in. I hope the Andretti Global F1 gets approved to get American racing more bigger.

[@danielgustafsson7291]

As far as interviews goes, I don't know how you will top this one David. Great job

[@PaperBanjo64]

What an honor for David to interview THE Mario Andretti, this channel has come a long way!

[@sgtpepper6379]

Damn I started watching this dude when it was just video games in his bedroom or wherever. Now he's interviewed the most versatile racing driver of all time. Congratulations, David.

[@lewiskemp5893]

Only thing that can beat this interview is Mario giving you a ride in the 2 seater indy car Mario drives afterward

[@yorkmartin8569]

Wondering if that question came off air. Hah.

[@crazydrummer181]

As an American F1 fan I have to give much thanks to you for putting in the effort keeping up with this news.

[@BrandonCrosslin]

We went from in front of the diecast shelf, to speaking with the man himself.. incredible job over these past few years David.

[@jimgraves4197]

I can't wait to see this plan come together for the Andretti family to join F1. Mario is as enthusiastic about racing as he has always been and his presence in the Paddock will be a very welcome one. Michael's time in F1 was brief and eventful for all the wrong reasons so I think he sees this as unfinished business.

[@MIK33EY]

PS: I am definitely excited to see Herta on the F1 grid. I’m also waiting in anticipation for O’Ward to also make the switch - although when you have the likes of Guanyu $30M Zhou vying for seats I think I’m going to be waiting for a while yet.

[@chrish931]

I think O Ward might end up being Lando's team mate in a couple seasons, and Herta will be in the Andretti Global assuming they let Andretti in.

[@MIK33EY]

@@chrish931 I think you could be right there, but as a Ricciardo fan (& fellow Aussie) I’m trying not to think about that happening. I’ve got everything crossed for The Honey Badger to return to his Red Bull form with the new car regulations - probably not as much as The Grin himself mind you.

[@palmermonsen9098]

@@chrish931 could be but the problem is there are just too many good drivers for only 20 seats, who knows what the market might be in a couple years, especially if there are new rising talents one the level of max, lewis, charles and the like

[@AmokCanuck]

@@chrish931 people say this but I feel like it's McLaren's dream to have Pato being the IndyCar champion and Lando being champ for F1

[@kylegoodman5196]

Zak Brown gave Pato a condition to get to F1, win the IndyCar Championship and they would find a way to get him into F1. I don't know however, if Pato makes it to F1, that he would race with McLaren.

[@ithemeparkOFFICIAL]

Great interview David!

[@edwardburek1717]

Wow, hold the phone!! One of the most beloved and legendary authorities in motor sport has an exclusive sit-down interview... with Mario Andretti!! Fantastic professional job and very well done.

[@carsinthewild7883]

You're doing awesome! You must be making a name for yourself there if you're getting 20 minute sit down interviews with a LEGEND! And you handled it like a pro! Keep doing your thing!

[@jebediahgentry7029]

This is amazing man. If anyone deserves to have an interview like this with Mario Andretti, it's you. Keep up the good work!

[@naparacingfan9275]

You know you made it big when you get to interview Mario Andretti. This was a great interview! Hopefully Andretti can bring in new fans of motorsports in through the new American F1 team. In my opinion, Colton Herta is definitely the next great driver to win in multiple disciplines like Andretti and Foyt once did. Kyle Larson is obviously excellent in multiple disciplines also (2023 Indy 500).

[@BrendanP]

This is a great listen. Intriguing that Herta got as fast if not faster than Raikkonen & Giovinazzi. Now I want to see him and Andretti in F1 ASAP.

[@alextrifs]

About a mile from his house, I love this Andretti content! Keep it up!

[@barrymorris7856]

You got a scoop David. How this video only has 8.5k views beats me.

[@aaronb4936]

I think it’s safe to say David Land has “made it” as a pro motor sports reporter.. always great content 👍🏻. How you gonna top this one?

[@Hczeprocker]

Great Catch, great interview. By far the most insight that I have learned about this situation so far. You always seem to be a step ahead in getting the racing news about the types of racing that I follow. I hope that this interview catapults you to many more subscribers David because you do a great job, you always seem to do great research and have your facts straight. I ran into your channel about 3 years ago and have been here ever since. You are definitely well deserving of a larger subscriber count because you are very good at it, and it comes through how much you love the sport. Hopefully this was that 1st giant step of this channel becoming the Monster that it should be. Keep up the great work and I will wait for that next notification!

[@aaronspringborn34]

David good for you capitalizing on an amazing opportunity interviewing the legend. The one and only Mario Andretti!

[@kc0dxf]

Great interview, thanks for seeking him out. Mario will always be one of my childhood heroes!

[@yorkmartin8569]

PLP screaming in their hotel rooms when this uploaded.

[@tombystander]

Us Americans are blessed this man chose to fly our flag instead of the Italian. God bless u Mr Andretti. Thank u for donning the stars & stripes during ur F1 career and afterwards

[@markpenske7]

That's another interesting nugget that I havent heard any where else: Herta was on the Sauber simulator?

[@RadarLuv100]

Damn dude, you sat with a legend. Been following you for a few years now and this is your best catch. Big Ups.

[@mariaboyer3763]

Hi David. Mom Donohue here. Very informative and nicely done. I could listen to Mario -- the OG🐐-- all day long. I'm looking forward to finally meeting you at the 500!

[@spiffyg4939]

10:07 "Wow..." Yeah. That would be me through the entire interview.

[@JustinAH]

Congratulations David for getting the interview with Mario. If you want to get inside Michael Andretti's head and understand his desire to get back to Formula 1 listen Marshall Pruitt's podcast when he interviewed Michael and Mario about Michael's F1 career. Shame on you Ron Dennis!

[@travisjohnson8282]

Props to you for not letting the nerves get the best of you. Awesome to interview Mario andretti

[@chrish931]

Congrats again on the interview. Its been really cool seeing this channel grow. As kid born in 80, I grew up watching the CART championship and Mario, Micheal, and Mansell in those cool looking black and white Texaco/Kmart Lola Cosworths Fords. They were my favorite team and I can't imagine not just turning into a fanboy idiot trying to interview Mario, great job David.

[@charliepalmer3244]

Same, I loved CART! I still use Michael as my main guy on "CART Fury" for my old PS2, and it doesn't "get old". To see this now is awesome!

[@welern2liv815]

Thank you David, For following your heart to bring us such a high quality insight of the motorsports world. Let the passion lead us through seasons to come as we ride along with you!

From Hoosier to the other: great job David!

[@ranzablevins7593]

Mario Andretti the best of legends. Don't think any driver will ever duplicate his record.if it has 4 wheels and a steering wheel he can win in it. F1 world champion , indy champion,indy 500 champion , Daytona 500 champion , daytona 24 hour champion 24 hour at lemons champion ,got all the kisses and hardware to boot.

Mario did not win Lemans. He did win Sebring 3 times though.

I got to ask AJ Foyt a single question in 2019 at the Daytona 500 in the media center and I was shaking in my boots. I can't imagine the nerves before you started that interview with Mario. Great job David.

[@andyhamilton8940]

What was the question? Was his answer something about that damn Koogan?

[@FloridaManRacer]

@@andyhamilton8940 I asked him how after all this time at his age, what his motivation to stay in the sport was. He'd done it all won it all and seen it all... He just said, "It's what I know and its what I love, there doesn't need to be anything else."

That was honestly an amazing interview, like I can’t even describe honest happy and slightly jealous I am of you but holy hell man A freaken plus! I know I’ve seen a couple comments mentioning from Bandwagoners guides to this but this whole ride with you has been awesome! Good sound weird but you legitimately brought back to watch INDYCAR after not watching for close to 10 years but you also did something else and was showing what I want to eventually do man. Crazy to think we’re not to far of on age but what you have done is a different level and hopefully one day not only myself all the other people you have inspired can thank you in person! Great work David Land and keep it up!

If rich energy, Virgin, etc can make it. The FIA is criminal if they don’t give the best driver of all time get his name on a team

[@Marcelg13]

Who Senna? Schumacher? All joking aside its going to be difficult. It would´ve been easy back when Ecclestone was the F1 Boss but i dont think the Current Higher Ups there want a new Team until 2025 and if they would accept a new Team it would cost more than 200 mill just to enter which is crazy.

[@tylerensminger]

A lot of people been speculating that Andretti should buy Haas but it doesn't seem that they are going that route right now. Alpine could be a good partner

[@heetcrusher2880]

Andretti has tried to buy Haas but Gene Haas is happy being last every race and does not want to sell or compete at any level in F1. To Haas it is just a advertisement. He is happy losing every day.

[@wingracer1614]

Because Haas is not for sale. At least not for cheap. He understands that entry is worth 200mil on it's own so he's not selling for a penny less than that but considering how little manufacturing capability they have, why would someone else pay that when they can do it all themselves for not much more?
