The Hartland, WI native, known as "The North Pole Nightmare," comes off a successful rookie campaign where he finished eighth in points. His 2024 season highlights included:
- Fourth place at Kennedale Speedway Park
- Second place at Paducah International Raceway
- Third place at the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals
- First-ever Knoxville Nationals championship Feature qualification
- Multiple top-five finishes throughout the season
Looking ahead to 2025, Balog aims to improve upon his rookie success. "Our goal for 2024 was top 10s, and we were able to get a lot of those, but fifth pays a lot better than 10th, and third pays a hell of a lot better," Balog stated. His main objectives for the upcoming season include:
- Converting top-10 finishes into top-5s
- Securing his first World of Outlaws feature win
- Improving on his eighth-place points finish
Balog brings extensive experience to the series, including 10 Interstate Racing Association (IRA) championships. His 2025 campaign will begin at Volusia Speedway Park's Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals on February 5-8, 2025.
