ANDY COSTELLO REMEMBERED
August 12, 2009 - Tomorrow, August 13, 2001 will mark the eight year anniversary of the death of PRA driver Andy Costello from brain cancer.

Andy was known as a quiet man who loved to race and gave the sport 100% all the time.  His first event win came on May 26, 1991 at Sacramento Bug-O-Rama #27 on a hole shot win over Alan Deshotels.  Andy would win back-to-back Super Street championships in 1994 and 1995 and then moved into the Pro Stock class and claimed his third PRA championship.  In 1997, Andy was diagnosed with a tumor in the brain and after successful surgery in April of that year returned to racing for a few more years until his retirement in early 2001.  His three PRA championships ranks him fourth (tied with Shawn Geers) for the most championships all-time.

Andy's Super Street car is still around and apparently ready to go, just waiting for the day that  his son is ready to guide it down the quarter-mile and back into the winner's circle.
