A star-studded group of giants in the motorsports industry gathered on Thursday as Mario Andretti was presented with the Cameron R. Argetsinger Award for Outstanding Contributions to Motorsports by the International Motor Racing Research Center at the Corning Museum of Glass.

This was the fourth year the glass trophy has been presented; previous honorees were Chip Ganassi, Richard Petty and Roger Penske. "This is the most amazing evening that I've ever spent. I've never ever experienced anything like this, ever," Andretti said after being presented the Argetsinger Award by IMRRC Governing Council chairman Bobby Rahal and Peter Argetsinger, one of nine children of the late Cameron and Jean Argetsinger.
