Andrew Ranger (born November 20, 1986) is a Canadian professional race car driver currently competing full-time in the NASCAR Canada Series. He pilots the No. 27 Chevrolet for Wight Motorsports. With extensive experience, Ranger has amassed 28 victories across 133 starts. He secured championship titles in 2007, 2009, and 2019, finished as runner-up in both 2016 and 2021, achieved third place in 2012 and 2015, and ranked fourth in 2008.

Champ Car

Ranger claimed the Canadian Formula A Karting championship in 2002 and followed that by winning the North American Fran Am 2000 Pro title in 2003. In 2004, he competed in the Toyota Atlantic series driving car No. 27, joining the ranks of notable Quebec drivers like Gilles Villeneuve and Jacques Villeneuve, earning six podium finishes and Rookie of the Year recognition.

Making his debut in the Champ Car World Series in 2005 with Conquest Racing, Ranger drove the No. 27 car. He became the youngest driver to achieve a podium finish in the series by placing second at Monterrey. Although his results tapered off after a promising start, he still ended the season tenth overall. In 2006, he remained with Conquest Racing, again finishing tenth in the standings with a best finish of fifth at the 2006 Lexmark Indy 300.

NASCAR

Following the merger of Champ Car with the Indy Racing League and a lack of sponsorship opportunities, Ranger shifted to stock car racing within the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, driving the No. 27 Ford for Dave Jacombs. He won the series’ second race at Mosport International Raceway and clinched that year’s championship. The following season, he added victories at Montreal and Trois-Rivières, along with four pole positions including wins at Mosport and Edmonton.

In 2009, Ranger dominated the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series by winning six races, including events held at Mosport, SunValley Speedway (his first oval track victory), Edmonton, Trois-Rivières, and Riverside Speedway. He secured his second championship title by a margin of 167 points.

Ranger also participated part-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series during 2008 and 2009 for Fitz Motorsports, achieving a best finish of third place at the Napa Auto Parts 200 in Montreal. In 2010, he raced for Baker-Curb Racing’s No. 27 Dodge team, including appearances at Montreal.

Throughout 2010, Ranger competed part-time across the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series as well as the K&N Pro Series East and West divisions. He earned wins at Infineon Raceway (West) and Lime Rock Park (East). By also winning races at Toronto Indy and Trois-Rivières that year, he became the first driver to claim victories in all three NASCAR regional touring series within a single season. His part-time success continued into 2011 with triumphs at Montreal and Toronto.

In addition to NASCAR events in 2011, Ranger won an ARCA race at New Jersey Motorsports Park and placed sixth in a Nationwide Series race at Road America. That year marked his Sprint Cup debut at Watkins Glen with FAS Lane Racing where he finished 35th.

In 2012, Ranger competed concurrently in both the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and Nationwide Series for GC Motorsports. He won two Canadian Tire races held in Quebec and added another ARCA victory at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

During 2013, Ranger ran a limited schedule in the Canadian Tire Series while also participating in road course events within NASCAR Nationwide and ARCA competitions, securing his third straight ARCA win at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

In 2014, Ranger departed from Dave Jacombs’s team to join DJK Racing behind the wheel of the No. 27 Dodge vehicle, continuing with them through to 2019. He did not participate during the shortened 2020 Pinty's Series season due to the COVID-19 pandemic but made his return in 2021 driving for Rick Ware Racing’s Pinty's Series outfit. Although entered for one Xfinity Series race that year with Rick Ware Racing, he was ultimately replaced by J. J. Yeley.
