Andrew Schartner, 18 (NY/NC) Don't tell this reigning ESDCA Mod Lite Mid-Summer Series Champion that overcoming obstacles is a mountainous task. Despite the fact that Andrew hears only with the help of two hearing aids, he helps his father Karl build and maintain all of their own race cars, and has just completed his first semester at UNC-Charlotte majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Journalism. With over 100 feature wins and a dozen championships in his nine year career, Andrew may be one of the best kept secrets in driver development. He will race the Mod Lite again this summer, while testing and racing a pavement Late Model as well. Website Link: www.andrewschartner.com
