The evenings action started with group qualifying as AK timed in with the sixth best lap in Group B. Starting the heat race second row outside it would take Andrew a few laps to make it to the top spot; after that he lead the rest of the way to take the heat race victory.

The combination of qualifying and heat race points slated Kosiski to start outside front row of the 25 lap main event. At the drop of the green pole sitter Blair Nothdurft gained a slight advantage over Andrew going into turn one. As Nothdurft aimed his car to go in high, Kosiski tried a cross over move to get underneath the No.76 and doing so lost the back end and spun out in front of the field. Fortunately everyone was able to get by without much damage. After the restart Andrew worked through traffic as best as he could going from 24th to finish 17th.

Kosiski and Team 53 entered Friday’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series event as co-points leaders, but as the night unfolded Kosiski was only able to come home with a 6th place finish in the 25 lap main event.

Heat race action set the tone for the evening as Andrew started third row inside in the eight lap race. After the initial green flag the field jumped in line on the cushion and Kosiski was able to finish fourth.

The 25 lap A feature was much the same as the heat race. Starting 8th AK ran in the 7th position for most of the race as the field ran the cushion around the 4/10th of a mile speedway. Kosiski was able to make a pass late in the event as Robbie Andersen slipped up entering turn one with four laps to go. Andrew went on to finish 6th in the caution free race.

Kosiski now sits third in points six markers behind Bill Leighton Jr. and two behind Josh Leonard.

Kosiski was able to pick off a few cars, then as the race slowed for the final time on lap 17 AK found himself sitting in the tenth position. Kosiski used the bottom groove on the restart after getting around Bill Leighton Jr. to challenge the No. 80 of Allan Hopp. Andrew completed the pass on Hopp with two laps remaining to finish the race 8th.

At the drop of the green pole sitter Curt Schroeder jumped out to the early lead in his No. 15C. Third place starting driver Corey Zeitner would also make the pass leaving Andrew in third place after lap two. AK worked the bottom groove on lap six passing Schroeder for the runner up spot, setting his sight for Zeitner’s No. 19. As the leader started working their way through lap traffic, Kosiski demolished Zeitner’s ten car length lead to less then a car length on lap 15. Corey was able to maneuver through the traffic better reopening his lead to over five car lengths until the caution flag flew with just four laps to go.

At the drop of the green for the A main there was some jockeying for position but once everything got settled Andrew was still in the ninth position. The race stayed green until lap 16 when Matt Snoberger spun over the turn two banking. The ensuing restart got a little too exciting as 8th place running J.C. Wyman spun around right in front of Kosiski in turn four; Andrew got on the binders and took a hard right to stay off of the No. 4 car, then had to take a hard left to keep out of the outside wall. AK took no damage and restarted the race in 8th where he and Bill Leighton Jr raced hard into turn one; both drivers slid up the hill battling for 7th allowing Nick Deal to race by underneath. Kosiski was able to get by Leighton and that’s where he would run the final 9 laps to come home with an 8th place finish.

Kosiski would trail race leader Josh Krug as both drivers used the cushion to get around the 4/10th of a mile speedway; though just after the halfway point as the two race leaders entered lap traffic AK was able to use the bottom groove to pass the No. 4K of Krug. Andrew then set sail from there building a nearly four second lead by the end of the caution free 25 lap main event. Krug finished second followed by Josh Leonard, Kosiski 52, and Bill Leighton Jr.

In victory lane Andrew thanked all of his sponsors for their support and explained how being able to roll the bottom in lap traffic when the top groove was so dominant was the key to victory.

This was Kosiski’s first NASCAR win at I-80 since August 18th, 2017.

Team 53 closed out the month of June with their first of three visits of the season to the Junction Motor Speedway with the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series. Andrew brought home an 8th place finish in the 25 lap main event.

A lap three caution slowed the field and on the restart the No. 53 went to battle with the No. 19 of Corey Zeitner. Andrew grabbed the advantage on lap seven from Zeitner and set sail on the high groove. By the midpoint of the race Kosiski started to feel pressure from Tad Pospisil, but working lapped traffic he was able to pull away from the No. 04. Disaster struck on lap 28 as a lapped car hit the wall in front of Andrew and then turned down the track causing heavy contact to the right side of the All Makes Collision, Certified Transmission sponsored machine. This would end the night as Kosiski was forced pit side with the damage.

The Norfolk bull ring has been traditionally a challenge for the Omaha native, but this time around he earned a 3rd place finish.

Kosiski took the advantage on lap four and then set his sights on third place runner Jim Johnson. Making a last lap pass Andrew finished third, qualifying himself for the 25 lap A main.

Rolling off seventh, Andrew had the drive early on in the feature. Pulling a slide job coming off two, AK broke into the top five on lap four; then on lap nine he took over fourth place at the start-finish line just before the yellow flag was displayed. After the restart Kosiski had to take evasive maneuvers as third place runner Jason O’Brien went into the spin cycle; barely making it by Andrew set himself to restart the race now in the third position and at the green flag he challenged the No. 55D of Nick Deal for the runner up spot. Kosiski fell back in line and rode until a lap 14 caution made things exciting. The top three runners would be under a blanket on lap 16 when race leader Tad Pospisil jumped the cushion entering turn one, this allowed Deal to get to his door, but it was AK on the bottom taking the lead coming off of turn two. Leaving enough room on the outside , Deal sailed his car onto the cushion in turns three and four to take over the top spot. Andrew ran runner up until the race slowed on lap 22, then it was time for one last chance at the lead. Kosiski could not challenge Deal, but it was Ben Schaller who made a last lap, last corner pass on the No. 53 to take second, leaving Andrew to finish third. (Cody Papke photo)

Saturday night Team 53 made the trip to the Adams County Speedway - Corning IA for the fifth round of action in the 2019 Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series season. Andrew and the crew would put many hours of work in over night getting a new power plant under the hood of the All Makes Collision, Certified Transmission, Select Auto, Kosiski Auto Parts, Omni Inventive Care MB Customs Chassis No. 53 so they could compete in the event.

Time trial action saw AK post a time of 21.679 seconds, good enough for 9th fastest. Starting outside the front row of his heat race, Kosiski jumped out to an early lead. Just after the half way point Andrew would slip up entering turn one allowing the No. 24 of Bill Leighton Jr. to race by. Kosiski went on to finish second behind Leighton in the 8 lap race.

Starting the feature from the fourth row outside, AK battled early on with Cousin Brian Kosiski for the 7th position until both Kosiski’s entered the spin cycle entering turn three on lap three. The caution would come out sending them both to the back. Andrew worked his way through traffic the rest of the 25 lap race to finish in the 9th position.

Andrew stretched the lead to over a half straightaway by lap two, and after leading all the circuits he picked up the heat race victory, his second of the season.

Kosiski started the 25 main event fourth row inside and in the first couple laps Andrew used the bottom groove to get by both Brian Kosiski and Josh Krug. AK then set his sights on Bill Leighton Jr., but within the first few laps the low side became the dominant place to be and Andrew would have to follow the tire tracks of Leighton. In the closing laps the top five were all on the same straightaway but no one could make a move. Josh Leonard picked up the win, followed by Jason O'Brien, Corey Zeitner, Leighton, and Kosiski 53.

Kosiski would start third in heat race number two and from the drop of the green he would go to battle with the No. 52 of Brian Kosiski. The two Kosiski’s split the No. 15C of Curt Schroeder for the second position a few laps in, but it would be Brian that took the advantage as Andrew finished third in the 8 lap race.

The third place heat finish would line the All Makes Collision, Certified Transmission, Select Auto, Kosiski Auto Parts, Omni Inventive Care No. 53 on the pole of the first last chance qualifier. Andrew would lead the entire way and pick up the victory to secure a 15th place starting position in the 25 lap A main.

With track position being premium on the 1/4 bull ring, traffic was tough to negotiate at the start of the main event. AK worked his way up to the 12th position by the lap 9 yellow, and then after the restart he would make his way forward some more. After using the bottom lane of the speedway, Kosiski raced door to door with Joel Callahan for 8th in the closing laps but couldn’t complete the pass to come home with a 9th place finish.

This was Kosiski’s second career Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series win, and with the victory Andrew will start outside front row of Saturday’s $4,000 to win Spring Meltdown main event. (Todd Boyd photo)

The night would start with group qualifying where Andrew would time in seventh fastest in Group B with a lap time of 18.538 seconds. That started the All Makes Collision, Certified Transmission, Select Auto, Kosiski Auto Parts, Omni Inventive Care Mars Race Cars No. 53 inside of row two in the heat race where he would pick up the win.

The 18 lap feature event would see Kosiski start from the outside front row and lead every lap to victory despite having to endure two green-white-checkered restarts. Andrew used the low groove most of the event as his MB Customs chassis showed great speed the entire race.

In victory lane Kosiski thanked all those that support him and Team 53. What it takes to put fast cars on the race track is a total team effort.

A correction to what was previously reported, Friday night’s win didn’t lock in a front row starting spot, the win would put Andrew starting third row outside as the top three of each qualifying feature were inverted.

Track position proved to be key in the 25 lap main event as the race went caution free. Kosiski would get in line on the super fast racing surface and run 6th for most of the race as the 2nd-6th place runners would all be on the same half straightaway early on. AK finally made the bottom groove work to get around the No. 19 of Corey Zeitner in the closing laps. Taking the checkers in was Nick Deal picking up the win, followed by Josh Leonard, Brian Kosiski, Bill Leighton Jr., and Andrew Kosiski.

In 2019 Andrew Kosiski will pilot his family owned #53 MB Custom chassis sponsored by All Makes Collision, Certified Transmission, Select Auto, Kosiski Auto Parts, and OMNI Inventive Care.

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)

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.
