Michael "Buddy" Kofoid has officially committed to his second season with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars, continuing his partnership with Roth Motorsports for the 2025 season.

The Penngrove, CA native's rookie season proved exceptional, securing seven wins, 27 podiums, and 53 top-10 finishes in his Toyota-powered No. 83 car. His fourth-place championship finish tied the record for highest-placing rookie, matching achievements by Jeff Swindell, Brad Doty, and Giovanni Scelzi.

Key achievements in 2024 included:

• Winning the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals
• Securing three victories in four races in California
• First-time win at Williams Grove Speedway

Kofoid's eight World of Outlaws victories with Roth Motorsports already tie him with James McFadden for third-most wins in team history, behind Danny Lasoski's leading 41 victories. The partnership holds special significance for Kofoid, who grew up watching Roth Motorsports shape Sprint Car racing in California.

Looking ahead to 2025, Kofoid and Roth Motorsports aim to secure the team's first World of Outlaws championship. The season begins at Volusia Speedway Park's Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals on February 5-8, where Kofoid will continue building upon his impressive rookie campaign.

"Racing last year with the Outlaws is the most I've learned and progressed in my career," Kofoid reflected. "I feel like our last half of the year showed championship-caliber consistency, and we're ready to build on that success."
