In 1969 Aldo suffered severe damage to his face after crashing during a spring car race in Des Moines, flipping end over end and striking the fence, Aldo suffered 14 fractures to his facial bones, and his right eye socket had been shattered. Following his recovery and extensive reconstructive surgery, Aldo quit racing at the request of Mario.  :-\\

His son, John Andretti, also a racer. passed away earlier this year from colon cancer at the age of 56.  :\'(
