Andrews took over the2nd Chance Motorsports No. 79 following the firing of previous driverJennifer Jo Cobb;^[7] he was fired by the team after theSTP 300 atChicagoland Speedway in an incident in which the team's owner fired the entire team, with instructions to "find [their] own way back to Charlotte".^[8] He drove most of the remainder of the year forKey Motorsports.^[9]

In 2013, Andrews joined his father, Paul atCunningham Motorsports as both a crew chief and driving instructor in the ARCA and K&N Series.

In 2016, Andrews became the crew chief for the upstartContreras Motorsports team in the Truck Series, which fielded the No. 71 for driver-ownersCarlos Contreras andEnrique Contreras III.^[15] However, a few races into the season, the Contreras team reduced their schedule from full-time to part-time, with other part-time teams in the series, particularlyRanier Racing with MDM, using their owner points and bringing in their own crew members and equipment for the No. 71. Various other crew chiefs replaced Andrews on the pit box for the team both when that occurred and in races where the Contreras' still fielded the truck.
