Andrew Jankowiak (born March 10, 1988) is an American racing driver who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 71 Chevrolet for KLAS Motorsports. He also competes part-time in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 39 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for RSS Racing. He has also previously competed in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

Personal life Jankowiak's father Tony Jankowiak married Debby Druar after working alongside her on Tommy Druar's pit crew. Jankowiak's mother, father and uncle, Debby Druar Jankowiak, Tony Jankowiak and Tommy Druar, were also racing drivers. Debby Druar Jankowiak was the first female to win a race at the Lancaster Motorplex. Tommy Druar was killed in a Summer 1989 race at Lancaster Motorplex, while the elder Jankowiak was killed in a crash at Stafford Motor Speedway in April 1990. Jankowiak frequently races the number 73 in tribute to his father and uncle. In the 2022 ARCA Menards Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Jankowiak raced a special paint scheme inspired by the design his mother used to race.

To fund his racing career, Jankowiak used tips from his job as a delivery driver for Bob & John's La Hacienda.

At a young age, Jankowiak would frequently visit the Ransomville Speedway go-kart track with his mother Debby, and her brother-in-law, Jake.

Racing career NASCAR Modified Tour Jankowiak began to compete in the Modified Tour in 2019, driving for Susanne Lewis Racing. He intended to make his debut at the Musket 250 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, in the No. 41 Chevrolet, but he withdrew.

Jankowiak returned at the season-finale, the Sunoco World Series 150 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, in the No. 55 Airport Collision Dodge. Jankowiak started 30th out of 40 cars and was collected in a major crash on lap 13, which started when Kyle Bonsignore spun in turn three and blocked the track, causing him to finish 38th.

For 2020, Jankowiak initially entered the Laurel Highlands 150 at Jennerstown Speedway Complex in the No. 59 BNP Machine Dodge for Steve Mendoza Racing, but withdrew.

Jankowiak then competed at the Thompson 150 at Thompson, driving the No. 59 Jankowiak Racing Chevrolet. Jankowiak qualified in 28th (last) place and finished 24th, due to handling issues after 116 of 154 laps.

Jankowiak's third entry was the season-finale, the World Series of Speedway Racing 150 at Thompson, driving for Mendoza again, but in a Chevrolet. He started 17th, but finished 24th out of 27 cars, retiring due to handling issues after 75 of 150 laps.

In 2021, Jankowiak drove in the Nu-Way Auto Parts 150 at New York International Raceway Park, driving the No. 59 BNP Machine Chevrolet for Jody Lauzon Racing, starting 17th and finishing in 14th place (two laps down).

ARCA Menards Series

Jankowiak began to compete in ARCA in 2021, driving the No. 73 entry for his own Jankowiak Motorsports part-time. He purchased a car from Ken Schrader Racing to use.

In the week leading up to the season-opening Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona International Speedway, Jankowiak received sponsorship from OneRail. For the race, Jankowiak qualified in eleventh place out of 34 cars and would finish on the lead lap in eighth.

Jankowiak then competed at the General Tire 200 at Talladega Superspeedway, with sponsorship from V1 Fiber and Thermal Foams. Jankowiak started 27th and would improve his finish to seventh, once again on the lead lap.

At the General Tire 150 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Jankowiak honored, on his car and helmet, members of the United States Armed Forces from western New York that had been killed in action. With sponsorship from V1 again, he started eighth out of 23 cars and would finish in ninth place, on the lead lap.

Prior to the General Tire #AnywhereIsPossible 200 at Pocono Raceway, Jankowiak received sponsorship from Konnect General Stores through their Phillips 66 distribution. In the field of 24 cars, he started in ninth place and would equal his Talladega finish by finishing seventh, Jankowiak's fourth top-ten and lead lap finish of the season.

Jankowiak started his first non-superspeedway oval race when he competed at the road course Watkins Glen International for the Clean Harbors 100 at The Glen. For the race, Marsh Racing collaborated in the fielding of the entry, with continued sponsorship from Konnect via their corporate sibling Dak's Market and Phillips 66. The same car from the oval races was converted to a road course set-up. On his first lap of the combined practice and qualifying session, the rear end on Jankowiak's car blew, causing his team to spend most of the session repairing his car, resulting in them qualifying 27th in the 28 car field. He would finish the race in sixteenth place, albeit two laps down.

On January 19, 2023, it was announced that Jankowiak would return to run part-time in the main ARCA Series in 2023, continuing to drive the No. 73 car, but the ownership of his race team would be taken over by fellow driver Andy Seuss as well as Kevin Lapierre, allowing Jankowiak to focus on the driver role. The team was renamed KLAS Motorsports (the initials of the two new owners).

Jankowiak continued to drive part-time for KLAS Motorsports from 2024 to 2026. He got his first career victory at Talladega in 2026, after making a last lap pass for the lead on Cleetus McFarland and Gus Dean.

NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series On August 15, 2026, KLAS Motorsports, Jankowiak's ARCA team, posted on their Facebook page that he would get to make his debut in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series in the race at Daytona later that month. On August 18, they posted that it would be for RSS Racing.

BriSCA F1

In late September 2026 it was confirmed thay Jankowiak would make his BriSCA F1 debut at that year's October Speedweekend held at Skegness Raceway, United Kingdom.
