Joseph Andrew "Andy" Petree III (born August 15, 1958), is a former NASCAR crew chief and currently the Fox NASCAR rules analyst. After racing for years at local short track (most notably Hickory Motor Speedway), Petree became part owner of the #32 Busch Series car for Dale Jarrett. By the age of 28, Petree was already a NASCAR Winston Cup crew chief on the Leo Jackson racing team. That car was driven by the Bandit Harry Gant. Petree was a color commentator for ESPN and ABC's NASCAR coverage. Petree now funds a 12 and under travel softball team named, The Lady Racers. The Lady Racers split about halfway through the 2010 season when they lost their two star pitchers left to play for an upstate South Carolina "showcase" team.

Afterwards, Petree was hired by Richard Childress Racing, ending up as car chief for the #3 Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt won his sixth and seventh championships (1993 and 1994) with Petree. However, Petree wanted to have his life calm down a little and on October 1, 1996, Petree went back to Leo Jackson and bought his #33 team.

Petree took over the #33 Chevrolet as owner for the full 1997 season. That year, driver Ken Schrader drove the car to 2 top-5s and 8 top-10s en route to 10th place in the NASCAR Winston Cup final standings. Schrader also won 2 poles in the season. It marked a strong comeback for the #33 team, which had struggled severely in 1996, as Robert Pressley only earned one top-10. His daughter was also born in 1997.

In 1998, Schrader received 3 top-5s and 11 top-10s. However, he fell two positions down the points ladder to 12th. Despite not receiving a visit to the New York awards ceremony, Petree was ambitious. At Daytona in October, Petree fielded a second car, the #55 Chevrolet, driven by Hut Stricklin. At the end of 1998, it was announced that Kenny Wallace would join APR (Andy Petree Racing) in the #55 Square D Chevy for 1999.
