In Episode 1 of The Building of a Race Team, presented by Klas Motorsports, we look back at the story that started it all. Before there was a team, before the hauler and the crew, there was one man — Andy Jankowiak — chasing an impossible dream.
Told in retrospect, this episode revisits how Andy risked everything he had — spending his life savings on a Kenny Schrader stock car — to make his first-ever ARCA Menards Series run at Daytona International Speedway. It was a bold move that would ignite the spark for what would become Klas Motorsports.
Through interviews, archival footage, and new insights, Andy reflects on the struggles, sacrifices, and breakthroughs that defined his early racing career — and the moment he first connected with Andy Seuss, forming the partnership that would shape their future in professional stock car racing.
This is more than a racing story — it’s a story about perseverance, passion, and the road that built a race team from the ground up.
