Andy Ponstein (b. May 2, 1976, Jenison, Michigan) is a race car driver. Ponstein, a long time veteran on the ARCA circuit, won the CRA Sunoco Super Series Rookie of the Year award in 2002, and also ran some NASCAR races in 2003 and 2004. He now races a Sunoco Super Series Template Late Model.
Ponstein got his feet wet in NASCAR beginning in 2003, when he ran two races for the #70 Bailey Racing Ford. He startied in his first 15th at IRP and finished that race in 24th. His next race came at Richmond, where he finished 22nd despite a blown engine.
Ponstein started 2004 off with a deal to drive the #39 Yahoo Ford for Jay Robinson Racing. After sitting out Daytona, Ponstein started 30th and would finish 25th in his debut at Rockingham. His debut would turn out to be his best run of the year, as he could only manage two other top-30s at Darlington (29th) and Nazareth (27th). Ponstein wrecked three times early in the season, and that brought his release after nine races into 2004. He spent several years out of NASCAR, before returning in 2008 to drive for Corrie Stott.
