From 1911-1968, the 2nd starting position statistically produced the most race winners (nine total), more than even the pole position (which had produced only seven at that time). In his lone 1969 victory, Mario drove car #2, from the 2nd starting position. It was the tenth time a driver had won the Indianapolis 500 from the 2nd starting position. It would take until the end of the twentieth century for another driver win from the 2nd starting position. In fact, few cars even managed to finish the race from the 2nd starting position during that period. As of 2018, only one driver (Juan Pablo Montoya in 2000) has won from the second starting position since Andretti did so in 1969.
