Andersen Racing strives to provide the best and most comprehensive training possible for future open-wheel superstars while giving its marketing partners media exposure and hospitality opportunities at some of the most prestigious events in North America.

The team provides a unique, three-step program utilizing multiple entries in three different formula car support series:

  • the F2000 Championship (webcast)
  • Star Mazda (televised on SPEED)
  • Firestone Indy Lights (televised on ESPN2)

Firestone Indy Lights is IndyCar's development series. Indy Lights races are all run as support events to IndyCar Series races, including the Indianapolis 500, the world's largest single-day sporting event.

Andersen Racing is the official development team of Rahal Letterman Racing (RLR). RLR competes in both the IndyCar Series and in American Le Mans Series endurance sports car races. RLR is owned by racing superstar Bobby Rahal and late-night talk show host David Letterman.

Andersen Racing's F2000 team is the official factory team of Van Diemen, the most successful chassis in that series' history.

In 2008 Andersen Racing will field multiple entries in 42 races in 19 states and provinces at some of the best facilities on the continent, including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Andersen Racing's principals, brother Dan and John Andersen, have extensive experience in series administration as well as team management. They've worked with many of today's top open-wheel stars, including several Indy 500 winners. They also understand the sport from a family perspective, as both of Dan Andersen's children raced in the past. Dan's son, Mike Andersen, is a three-time SCCA Formula Continental national champion.

Andersen Racing is headquartered at Andersen RacePark, an 18-acre facility it owns in Palmetto, Fla. that includes a 1-mile test track. This also showcases the team's efforts to always go one step beyond its competition, as even most teams in racing's major leagues do not own their own testing facility.

Ownership of a test track in sunny Florida greatly enhances Andersen Racing's testing program. Other teams in various series may rent the track for testing as the track's schedule permits. Andersen RacePark also hosts an active karting community. More information on the track is available at andersenracepark.com.

Andersen Racing is sponsored by Allied Building Products Corp.

The Indy Racing League is committed to the success of its official development series, Firestone Indy Lights. A mixture of road courses and ovals coupled with the Indy Lights' large purses, extensive media exposure (including ESPN2) and an absolutely excellent array of venues ensures this is the best place to be for drivers on the last step prior to an IndyCar career. Our partnership with Rahal-Letterman Racing demonstrates our commitment to excellence and winning races.

Our multi-car F2000 team offers a serious first step for young drivers coming from karting or the Skip Barber series. Budget requirements are reasonable; seat time is ample, and the opportunity to hone one's driving skills against good competition is strong. In 2007 three Andersen Racing drivers finished in the top five in this very competitive series. We are proud to be the official factory team for the winningest chassis in F2000 history, Van Diemen.
