KLAS Motorsports, a part-time team in the ARCA Menards Series, has announced plans to field a second car at select events starting in 2025. The team's usual No. 73 car, piloted by Andy Jankowiak, will be joined by an additional entry, the number of which has not yet been revealed. While a driver for the second car has not been named, the team is excited about the opportunity to expand its racing program and have a drafting partner on the superspeedways.

Doubling Down on ARCA Menards Series Success

Expanding the Racing Program

KLAS Motorsports is taking a significant step forward in its ARCA Menards Series involvement by adding a second car to its lineup. This move will allow the team to grow its racing program and provide more opportunities for drivers to showcase their talents. "We are excited to continue growing KLAS Motorsports," said team co-owner Andy Seuss. "We are ready to add a second team and second driver as well as to continue racing with Andy J. Adding another team will grow our racing program."

Drafting Advantages on Superspeedways

One of the key benefits of fielding a second car is the potential drafting advantages it can provide on the superspeedway events. "We want to be able to run one and two at Daytona and when it comes down to the final laps there, having a drafting partner is priceless," Seuss explained. The team's decision to debut the second car at Daytona International Speedway underscores the importance of having a drafting partner in these high-speed, high-stakes races.

Increased Feedback and Collaboration

In addition to the drafting benefits, the expansion to a two-car team will also provide the KLAS Motorsports squad with more feedback and collaboration opportunities. "We will have more feedback and a drafting partner on the superspeedways," Seuss noted. This increased collaboration and information-sharing can be invaluable in helping the team optimize its performance and strategy, ultimately leading to better results on the track.

Continued Success with Andy Jankowiak

While the addition of a second car is a significant development for KLAS Motorsports, the team will also continue to field its familiar No. 73 entry, driven by Andy Jankowiak. In the 2024 season, Jankowiak competed in 11 ARCA Menards Series races, securing one top-five and six top-10 finishes. The team's commitment to Jankowiak's continued involvement demonstrates its confidence in the driver and the stability he brings to the program.

Exploring Future Expansion

KLAS Motorsports has not revealed its full 2025 plans beyond the Daytona event, leaving the door open for potential further expansion or changes to its racing program. The team's willingness to take on the challenge of a second car entry suggests a desire to grow and capitalize on the opportunities presented in the ARCA Menards Series. As the 2025 season approaches, motorsports enthusiasts will eagerly await more details on KLAS Motorsports' continued evolution and its pursuit of success in the series.
