For Andrea Weaver, racing isn't just a hobby. It's been part of her life for decades. Andrea began racing go-karts at a young age and has spent all of her life in the racing community—not only as a competitor, but as a mentor, mechanic, business owner and someone other racers turn to for help. Alongside Paul, Weaver Performance has been part of the karting community for over 40 years, helping racers with parts, setups and the knowledge that comes from a lifetime around racing.
Then Andrea decided to chase her dream.
In 2026, she climbed behind the wheel of the #24 winged 305 sprint car and took on her rookie season. She kept learning, kept showing up and kept fighting for every lap, earning the title of...

But now Andrea is facing a much different fight.
Andrea is battling Chiari malformation, a neurological condition that affects the area where the brain and spinal cord meet. She is currently facing important medical decisions, including the possibility of brain surgery in the months ahead.
And this time, we want the racing community to fight beside her.
The Andrea Weaver #24 fundraiser was created to help ease some of the financial burden while Andrea focuses on her health, treatment and recovery. Our hope is that when Andrea is healthy and ready, we'll see #24 roll back onto the racetrack.
Andrea also wants something else to come from her journey:
SHE WANTS PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT CHIARI!
Some people with Chiari have no symptoms and may not know they have the condition until it is discovered during medical imaging for another reason. For others, it can cause significant neurological symptoms and require medical treatment. Andrea hopes that by sharing her own journey, she can help bring awareness to Chiari, encourage people to learn about it and perhaps help someone else recognize that it's worth talking with their doctor about symptoms they've been experiencing.
So when you support Andrea Weaver #24, you're doing more than supporting a racer.
You're standing behind Andrea.```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
