Good on Marco. It is good too that he wont be driving for his Dad. I think Marco needs to be on another team without Dad around. I think the kid has the Andretti talent (at least enough of it to win races) but cant put the mental part of the game together nor learn to survive on the techinical side without his dad's influence. Mike is like many parents, trying to help, but I truly think his development has been hindered by racing for AGR.

Graham Rahal never ran for his dad's teams, and it shows why Graham in my mind is a better talent at this point in his career than Marco is. THIS 24 hour effort is a really good place for Marco to taste a racing culture not defined by Daddy's influence.
