St Pete 2011
Indy 2007

I know there is one or two more instances but can't remember the events. Can you fill the gap(s)?

Mid-Ohio 2007 (I think) is the other one. He collided with Kanaan on the first lap.

Ah yes that's the one. Wasn't that accident actually started by Danica, with Marco being the innocent victim that time?

I believe it was so. How that Indy wreck happened I can't remember, but he was probably at fault there.

And last year at Sau Paulo he got a car on his head. Andretti luck+being crash prone, kid lives dangerously.

The Indy crash happened late race, he and Wheldon made contact, I think Andretti moved over on Wheldon as he was avoiding someone moving over on him. Rear wheel touched from wheel and then he skated down the back stretch on his head before flipping back onto his wheels.

Which was also the final event in the race. It started pouring down again during the caution.
