{{Short description|American racing driver}}
{{BLP sources|date=April 2026}}
'''Andy Boss''' (born April 20, 1972) is an American former professional racing driver from [Narragansett, Rhode Island](/source/Narragansett%2C_Rhode_Island). He is the grandson of 1950s Jaguar sportscar driver Russ Boss and younger brother of fellow racer [Geoff Boss](/source/Geoff_Boss). Boss retired from active racing in 2004 and joined the A.T. Cross Company.
==Racing career==
===Early career===
Like his brother, Boss began in the Skip Barber Formula Ford Series, driving a Mondial chassis powered by a 1600cc Ford motor. He finished second in the series in 1992 and came back in 1993 to dominate the series with 13 wins in 16 races. His first professional series was the [Barber Saab Pro Series](/source/Barber_Saab_Pro_Series) in 1993 which he ran concurrently with the 1993 Barber FF Series, finishing tenth ([1993](/source/1993_Barber_Saab_Pro_Series_season)) and fourth ([1994](/source/1994_Barber_Saab_Pro_Series_season)) in series points in his two years with the league. The 1994 championship came down to four drivers (Boss, Diego Guzman, [Mark Hotchkis](/source/Mark_Hotchkis) and [Juan Pablo Montoya](/source/Juan_Pablo_Montoya)) at the season finale in Phoenix, with future NASCAR driver [Jerry Nadeau](/source/Jerry_Nadeau) winning the race and Columbia's Diego Guzman taking the 1994 series title. In 1994, Boss also teamed with his brother in the [12 Hours of Sebring](/source/12_Hours_of_Sebring) driving Bob Leitzinger's factory backed [Nissan 240SX](/source/Nissan_240SX) but the car suffered from mechanical trouble while leading the GTU class. Although the car was repaired, it later retired due to engine failure. In 1995, Boss raced a select number of Barber Dodge pro Series, Vauxhall Lotus (England) and USAC FF2000 races.[[https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/andy-boss/ Andy Boss], ''Driver Database'', retrieved 2023-04-26]
===Indy Lights===
In 1996, Boss made his [Indy Lights](/source/Indy_Lights) debut, driving in the first two races of the season but no other races. He competed in the [Barber Dodge Pro Series](/source/Barber_Dodge_Pro_Series) in 1997, finishing third in the championship with six podium finishes and a victory at Mid-Ohio. He returned to Indy Lights full-time in 1998 with [Conquest Racing](/source/Conquest_Racing) and had a best finish of fourth at [Michigan International Speedway](/source/Michigan_International_Speedway), a race which he momentarily led but finished under caution. In 1999, Boss moved to LucasPlace Racing[[https://us.motorsport.com/indylights/news/boss-brothers-to-drive-for-luca-place-ms-in-1999/1734535/ Boss Brothers to Drive for Luca Place MS in 1999], ''Motorsport.com'', December 30, 1998, retrieved 2023-04-26] but still only had a best finish of fourth, this time at [Homestead-Miami Speedway](/source/Homestead-Miami_Speedway). He drove for LucasPlace again in 2000, but the team was severely underfunded and closed their doors at the end of the season. Along with his professional racing, Boss also competed for several years in the vintage racing series, HSR, driving a 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster.
