The KLAS Motorsports Experience

Before Klas Motorsports existed, before the cameras, before the team shop — there was simply Andy Jankowiak, chasing a dream the hard way. In Episode 6 of The Building of a Race Team, we go back to the beginning of Andy J’s journey and uncover the early struggles, sacrifices, and defining moments that shaped the driver he would become.

Through Andy’s own storytelling and rare footage from his early years, we explore the grassroots origins of a racer who never had the luxury of a clear path. From his family’s racing legacy to the challenges of running his own team on limited resources, Andy’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and a deep love for the sport that refused to fade.

For every breakthrough, there was a setback. For every race entered, a dozen obstacles stood in the way. Yet it was those experiences — the long nights, the borrowed parts, the heartbreaks and small victories — that forged the mentality Andy later brought into Klas Motorsports.

This chapter reveals how the foundation of the team was built long before the team had a name.
It was built in Andy’s journey.
