ARCA winner Andy ‘The Energizer’ Jankowiak is bringing the excitement of the Menards Series to Des Moines on Thursday, August 6, 2026. The event, hosted by the Ironworkers Local 67 and USNEPower, is a community meet-and-greet designed to showcase professional racing alongside skilled trades careers.
Attendees will get an up-close look at Jankowiak and his USNEPower ARCA race car, which is slated to compete in the JR&CO 150 at Iowa Speedway the following day. The event also features displays of Drift Cars from Off the Line Performance, muscle cars, and the actual KLAS Motorsports/Andy Jankowiak race hauler.
Beyond the racing spectacle, the collaboration emphasizes the importance of skilled trades. Representatives from Ironworkers Local 67 and USNEPower will be present to discuss the career pathways available through their apprenticeship and training programs for students, families, and career changers.
This community event provides a unique opportunity to see the craftsmanship behind the work of the union members while celebrating the energy of professional motorsports. The meet-and-greet runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Ironworkers Local 67 Training Center in Des Moines.
