October 20, 2018 - Kosiski Takes Runner Up Honors on Opening Night of Cornhusker Classic; Finishes 2nd Again in Cornhusker Classic

Andrew Kosiski returned to I-80 Speedway Friday night for the final weekend of the 2018 racing season as the annual Cornhusker Classic presented by Speedway Motors got under way.

Driving the Karl and Tracie Getzschman owned, All Makes Collision Center sponsored No. 18 Rocket Chassis for the first time this season; Kosiski rolled off the grid in the fourth row of the eight lap heat race. By the third circuit Andrew moved his way into the second position behind Tad Pospisil, but there was no running him down as the race went caution free.

The 18 lap Bragging Rights Late Model Series feature seen Kosiski take the green flag from the third starting position. Andrew would hold his position for the first half of the race as Pospisil and the No. 77 of Cory Dumpert checked out from the field. Just after halfway, AK started to chop the over two second deficit of Dumpert’s down lap by lap. With just two laps remaining Kosiski powered by Dumpert to take over the runner up spot. At the checkers it was Pospisil, Kosiski, and Dumpert as the top three podium finishers.

Andrew Kosiski would finish off the 2018 season Saturday night at I-80 Speedway as the final night of the Speedway Motors Cornhusker Classic took stage at the 4/10th of a mile speedway.

Kosiski once again was behind the wheel of the Karl and Tracie Getzschman owned #18 All Makes Collision sponsored Rocket Chassis. After his runner up finish in Friday’s feature, Andrew would be locked into Saturday nights main event.

From the drop of the green in the 18 lap main, Kosiski was moving forward. Taking over the second position on lap four, Andrew would use the bottom lane to challenge race leader Jake Bridge for the top spot. Running side by side AK took control of the race on lap six, to only give the lead back to Bridge on lap seven. The first of two cautions came out on lap eight as race leader Bridge slowed going into turn one, handing the lead back to Kosiski’s No. 18. On the restart it was second place Tad Pospisil getting the run on the high side off of turn two to take the lead. That would be the race winning pass as Andrew could never challenge Pospisil again the rest of the race. Top five finishers for the night were Pospisil, Kosiski, Andrew Tilley, Rece Vaught, and Zach Zentner.

September 15, 2018 - Kosiski Claims 3rd Place Podium Finish at Knoxville Raceway

Andrew Kosiski made his first career start at the historic Knoxville Raceway Saturday evening as the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series joined the final night of the 15th Annual Knoxville Late Model Nationals. The Midwest Mobile Tech 22 was an invite only non points race for the Malvern Bank Series with a full slate of time trials, heats, and the main event on the race card.

Taking the track for time trials, Kosiski posted the third overall fastest lap with a time of 19.120 seconds, averaging 94.142mph around the half mile speedway. With the inverted qualifying format, Andrew rolled off from the fifth starting position in the eight lap heat race. On lap one Kosiski would immediately challenge Corey Zeitner for the third position, but coming off of turn four to complete the circuit the Certified Transmission No. 53 lost traction slipping Kosiski back to the sixth position. Andrew held position the rest of the way to finish sixth.

With the special format of combining time trial points and heat race points, Kosiski started the 22 lap feature from the inside fourth row, and at the drop of the green flag his MB Custom chassis went forward. By lap three Andrew took over the fourth position using the bottom groove. Taking advantage of a lap eight caution flag, AK once again used the bottom lane to get around Ryan Griffith and Kyle Berck on the restart to take over the 2nd position. On lap 11 Kosiski surrendered the runner up spot back to Berck but kept the interval close until the two entered lap traffic with just a handful of laps remaining. At the checkers it was Tad Pospisil edging out Berck in a photo finish for the victory, Andrew finished third followed by Chad Holladay and Brian Kosiski. (Todd Boyd photo)

Andrew remains in sixth in the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Series point standings. For more results from this event, please visit www.SLMRSeries.com.

Andrew Kosiski and Team 53 finally made it back to the race track after a 15 day break due to a soggy Midwest rain season. The Eagle Raceway played host Sunday night to the $1,200 to win Nebraska Cup sanctioned by the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series. (Todd Boyd photo)

Kosiski took to the track in the second qualifying group of the night posting a lap of 14.553 seconds which was good enough for second place overall. His time was just 0.015 seconds off of the quick time set by Kyle Berck. With the inverted qualifying system, Andrew rolled off the the grid in the fifth position of his heat race. With track conditions making it hard to pass, Kosiski’s No. 53 would run fifth until a caution flew with just a few laps remaining. Andrew then took advantage of the restart maneuvering his way through traffic to finish third.

Starting tenth in the 25 lap A feature, Kosiski fought traffic early on the 1/3 mile high-banked oval. Racing in a gaggle of cars for the seventh position, Andrew was forced high as the field raced three and four wide, resulting in him falling all the way back to the 13th position. Kosiski used a mid race caution to pick two spots back up, but that was it as he then rode the rest of the race to finish 11th.

Andrew sits in sixth in the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Series point standings. For more results from this event, please visit www.SLMRSeries.com.
