Best Friends Animal Society
Best Friends Animal Society is the largest animal sanctuary in the nation and is located in Kanab, Utah. Best Friends believes that how we treat animals, the Earth and each other is the best reflection of who we are as a society. We focus on animals that are injured or abandoned, have special needs, or are considered “unadoptable” by others. Best Friends provides expert medical care, rehabilitation services, behavioral assistance and emergency aid when necessary.

Best Friends Animal Society is working with shelters, rescue groups and our members nationwide to bring about a time when there will be no more homeless pets. Best Friends provides adoption, spay/neuter, and educational programs; and publishes Best Friends, the nation’s largest general-interest animal magazine.

Andrew Prendeville
Andrew Prendeville was born on Oct. 5, 1981 in Summit, N.J., and he was raised in Chatham, N.J. At the conclusion of the 2007 racing season he relocated from Morristown, N.J., to his new home in Las Vegas, NV.

After graduation from Chatham High School in 2000 he completed his freshman year at Lynchburg College in Virginia. At that point he put his formal schooling on hold, and served as an instructor for other race car drivers while pursuing opportunities for his own racing career. He lived in both Pittsburgh and Columbus temporarily prior to making
the move from New Jersey to Nevada in 2007.

In 2002 he won the prestigious SCCA Valvoline Runoffs National Championship in the Formula Continental division and was crowned 2002 co-Rookie of the Year for the SCCA. He finished second in the Cooper Tires Formula 2000 National Championship in 2004. He advanced to the Indy Pro Series, the official development series of IndyCar, in 2007 with RLR/Andersen Racing. He recorded four top-five finishes, including a best finish of third in the second Infineon race, and seven top-10s in his rookie Indy Pro Series season.

Prendeville got his start in the sport at the age of 10 by racing karts. He drove an actual race car for the first time with the Bertil Roos School in 2001. He has gone on to be a popular instructor at that same school for over five years.

Prendeville is a firm believer in the value of self-education. He reads extensively, and he’s found the traveling he’s done
to be enlightening. By the end of the 2007 season his travels had taken him to 42 states in the United States as well
as parts of Canada, England, Ireland and Northern Ireland.

As well as driving professionally, Andrew has also been instructing at The Bertil Roos Racing School for the past
5 years.

For the 2008 Season, Andrew will be driving for RLR Andersen Racing in the Firestone Indy Lights.
