Andrew T. Seuss (born March 15, 1987) is an American professionalstock car racing driver and team owner. As a driver, he won two consecutive championships in 2014 and 2015 in theNASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour, and also competed in theNASCAR Cup Series,NASCAR Truck Series,Whelen Modified Tour,ARCA Menards Series and what is now theARCA Menards Series East. As an owner, he owns KLAS Motorsports, which fields the No. 73 car part-time in the ARCA Menards Series forAndy Jankowiak.^[1]

Seuss started ingo-kart racing, running at Sugar Hill Speedway inWeare, New Hampshire. He later moved up tolate model racing.^[2]

Seuss started competing in 2006, at the age of 19. He ran four races in that season, finishing half of them and recording the best finish of fourth in his final start of the season atMotor Mile Speedway.^[3] In 2007, Seuss ran four more races, leading 116 of 157 laps and recording his first win atMusic City Motorplex. However, he recorded two last place finishes, one because of withdrawal and one because of shock problems.^[4]

In 2008, Seuss went full-time, grabbing his first pole in the second race of the season. However, he crashed out of that race en route to the last place finish. He won the final race of the season to cap off his first season with longtime team owner David Riggs, and his first season withAdvance Auto Parts as a sponsor.^[5] In 2009, Seuss stayed with Riggs, scoring wins from the pole atMyrtle Beach Speedway andCaraway Speedway, as well as non-pole wins atSouth Boston Speedway andLanier Speedway. He finished second in the series' point standings.^[6] In 2010, Advance Auto Parts departed as a sponsor, but Seuss and Riggs picked upQ Racing Oil as a primary sponsor. Seuss scored two wins, both atCaraway Speedway, but a last-race crash sent him from second to fourth in the point standings.^[7] In 2011, Seuss did not return to Riggs' team, instead of running the first four races with Brian Fishel and the final ten races with Eddie Harvey. Those final ten races included three poles and four wins, and Seuss once again finished as the series' runner-up in the point standings.^[8] For 2012, Seuss stayed with Harvey's team, but was plagued by inconsistency, scoring only one win and finishing fifth in points.^[9] With no full-season sponsor in 2013, Seuss soldiered on, not scoring his first win until the ninth race but then winning that one and the two after it to rally to third in the point standings.^[10]

Ideal Finance signed on to sponsor Seuss in 2014, and Seuss responded with a first-race win, and not holding the top spot in the standings for only one race. He won his first championship that season on the back of a season in which he never finished a race outside of the top ten.^[11] In 2015, Seuss started with an opening-race crash, but rebounded by winning the race after that. He moved into the lead in the point standings after a win in the penultimate race at South Boston. A sixth-place finish in the final race of the season secured another championship for Seuss.^[12]

Coming off back-to-back championships was no easy task, as new sponsors signed on for the beginning of the season. Seuss led over 40 laps in that opening race but finished fifth. The 2016 season included a pole and a win, as well as finishing in the top ten in every race and completing every lap of the season save for one atSouth Boston. However, a third consecutive title was not in the cards, as Seuss finished the season third in points, losing by about twenty to winnerBurt Myers.^[13][14]

Seuss has been a part-time competitor in the series since 2006, never running more than six races a season. His first top five in the series came atNew Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2013 driving for Eddie Harvey.^[15] In 2017, when the Southern Modified Tour disbanded, Seuss ran a partial schedule with Harvey and others while also running someARCA Racing Series events.^[16]

Seuss debuted in theARCA Racing Series in 2015, driving the No. 76 forBryan Dauzat atTalladega Superspeedway. Seuss finished 21st, two laps down. His second start came five races later, driving the No. 40 for Roger Carter, and he finished two positions higher than in his debut, recording a 19th atChicagoland Speedway.^[17] In 2016, Seuss returned to Talladega, this time driving for Chris Our. However, brake issues hampered his efforts and he finished 31st.^[18] Seuss continued his superspeedway efforts with Our in 2017, running Daytona and Talladega, finishing second at Talladega just behindJustin Haley.^[19] The car Seuss ran at Daytona was originally fromDiamond Ridge Motorsports and the1997 NASCAR Busch Series.^[20]

Seuss returned to ARCA in 2023, this time as a team owner. He and Kevin Lapierre purchased driverAndy Jankowiak's team, Jankowiak Motorsports, on January 19, 2023, allowing Jankowiak to focus on the driver role. The team was renamed KLAS Motorsports (the initials of the two new owners).^[1]

Seuss made his debutK&N Pro Series East atNew Hampshire Motor Speedway^[21] in 2017 behind the wheel of No. 31Chevrolet SS forMarsh Racing. He started 15th and finished 13th.

In 2013, Seuss attempted to make hisCamping World Truck Series debut atRockingham Speedway^[22] forFDNY Racing, but failed to qualify. Two years later, he failed to qualify atTalladega Superspeedway.^[23] Seuss broke through in 2016, failing to qualify atCharlotte Motor Speedway with FDNY Racing's No. 28, but then got into the race whenMAKE Motorsports sold the ride in their No. 1 entry to Seuss and FDNY Racing. Seuss completed only 20 laps until a crash sent him home in last place.^[24]

On June 28, 2019, it was announced that Seuss would make hisMonster Energy NASCAR Cup Series debut atNew Hampshire Motor Speedway in July, driving the team's No. 51 entry.^[25]

In October 2019, Seuss andOur Motorsports partnered to run the full 2020NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule in the No. 02, with Seuss also working as the team's director of operations.^[26] However, after 16 races withBrett Moffitt primarily driving the car, Seuss left the team on July 22, 2020.^[27]

Seuss attendedPinkerton Academy andNew Hampshire Technical Institute.^[28] In 2014, after finishing fifth in the season finale atCharlotte Motor Speedway to clinch the Southern Modified Tour championship, Seuss proposed to his girlfriend Jen.^[29] The two married in June 2015.^[30] Their first son Lyle was born in fall 2016.^[20] Seuss owns a boat repair business inLake Norman when he is not racing.^[20]
