Andy was destined to be a racecar driver, his mom, Dianne, went into labor with him on June 19, 1976 while watching his dad, Richard, race at, the famous, West Capital Speedway in West Sacramento, CA.  The next morning, June 20th, Andy was born and the second-generation Forsberg driver was on his way.

Andy never drove any type of racecar or quarter midget growing up, it was not really in the family budget to have both Andy and Richard racing at the same time.  By the time Andy was fourteen he began sneaking into the pits.  Back in the early '90's you had to be sixteen to get into the pits.  Andy would pack track for his dad and occasionally hot lap the car, so by June 20, 1992 he was somewhat ready for his 16th birthday and his first career sprint car start.  This start came at the Ernie Purcell Speedway in Grass Valley, CA.  Andy got up to speed fairly quickly.  By his third race, Andy timed in 13th quickly out of 30 cars at the 4th of July race in Grass Valley.

In the first two years, 1992 and 1993, of Andy's driving career, he only ran 15 races as his, Richard, was also racing.  Andy would go weeks in between races.  By the end of the '93 season Richard could tell that Andy wasn't going to get better unless he drove every week.  The '94 season saw Richard step aside and Andy take on the full-time driving duties for the family-owned team.

In 1997 won his first career main event at the Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA. The win came with Andy beating two Placerville legends of the 90's, Ray Rust and Glen Boune.  

The 2000 season was a breakout year for Andy.  Midway thru the year Andy would meet his eventual wife Candace at a N.S.T. speed week race at Southern Oregon Speedway in Medford, OR.  Candace would eventually move from Oregon to California and they married on October 13, 2007.  By the end of the 2000 Season, Andy had won his first two championships of his career.  He won the Placerville Speedway Track Championship and also the traveling Civil War Series Championship.

Andy owns a finishing shop where he stains and lacquers cabinets for local cabinet shops around the Auburn area.  During the off-season, Andy loves to go snowmobiling and race go-carts on his race track behind the race shop.
