Beyond The Flags: Andrew Pearce

Getting Up To Speed With Ben Deatherage

2023 was the debut season for Andrew Pearce in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds. The Oakley, California youngster stepped up to the first division and took it by earning the Shaw Race Cars Western Region Rookie of the Year, winning the California State championship, and being crowned the Merced Speedway track champion. In this interview, we talk about Pearce's beginnings during the height of COVID and racing Sport Mods with no racing experience going into his first night in a race car. Also, we discuss his sensational 2022 trip to the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey's, his upcoming trip to the Dakota Classic Mod Tour, winning the $3,000 R. Charles Snyder Salute at Southern Oregon Speedway, and more!
