From the Office of Forsberg Racing

2018 was another great year for Andy and the teams he drove for. We would like to thank all our sponsors, our crew, family and friends for another outstanding year. Without your support and dedication we would not have had such a successful 2018 season and it is very much appreciated.  

     Our season with the A&A Stepping Stone #92 410 had 6 starts between Placerville and Chico. We had 3 top 10's, 1 top 3, 2 fast time awards, 2 DNF's and made the redraw 4 out of the 6 races. With limited 410 starts in 2018 Andy made the most of it with 2 unfortunate DNF's running in the 2nd position both times.  Andy did put 3 consecutive top 10 finishes together in 3 starts with the World of Outlaws Fall West coast swing with a top finish of 3rd in Placerville and claimed his first career quick time honors with the World of Outlaws.

     Our season with the Forsberg Family #92 had 16 starts between Marysville, Chico and Petaluma. We had 7 wins, 4 - 2nd's, 2 - 3rd's and 14 top 5 finishes.  We had 6 quick times, 1 DNF and made the redraw 14 out of 16 races and had a starting position average of 3.65.  For the first time since 2009 the Forsberg Family car committed to running more than just a handful of miscellaneous shows.  The 16-race schedule saw the Forsberg Family #92 in victory lane 7 times between 3 racetracks and Andy claimed his 19th driving championship winning his 4th career Silver Dollar Speedway Title.

     Our season with the F&F X1 had 36 starts between Chico, Placerville, Stockton, Hanford, Tulare, Fernley NV and Petaluma.  We had 7 wins, 2 - 2nd's, 12 podium finishes, 16 top 5 finishes, 6 quick time awards, 7 DNF's and made the redraw 19 out of the 36 races with an average starting spot of 4.95.  Teaming back up with the F&F X1 saw Andy win his 1st 2 starts of the year sweeping the Silver Cup weekend and winning at 3 different racetracks.  The team ran 5th with the SCCT series and Andy won his 20th career championship and his 6th Placerville track title.

     Overall numbers and interesting tidbits Andy raced 58 total shows there were 7 rain outs he had 14 wins, 14 quick time awards, 31 top 5 finishes, 10 DNF's, 37 redraws and ran the B main just 2 times.  Even though Andy had 10 DNF's they were all minor, Andy was only on the tow truck once all season and never got upside down.

     With Alan Bradway turning the wrenches on both the Forsberg Family #92 and the F&F X1 he now has 43 career victories with Andy, which is a tie for 1st with Andy's former crew chief Brian Cannon for most all time.  Andy's full time pill puller Jimmy Wall had a career year with a season average for all three cars of 3.95 putting Andy in a great starting position on most nights.  Andy is now a 20 time champion with 10 Civil War, 6 Placerville and 4 Chico titles and his career feature win total is now at 170.

     There are no plans set in stone for the 2019 season as we are waiting on track and series schedules to come out but tentatively everything should be similar to 2018.  

     Thank you,

     Andy Forsberg & Forsberg Racing
