Despite capturing seven wins and achieving top-10 finishes in 28 out of 31 races last season, Bergman sees room for improvement. His primary focus is on increasing his win count and becoming more consistent throughout the season.

"We had a lot of things changing with our team all year and I never really got a solid footing," Bergman explained. While he secured the championship by 146 points, his rival Sam Hafertepe Jr. dominated several statistical categories, including 12 Feature wins and 13 Quick Time Awards.
For the 2025 season, Bergman's team is making significant upgrades, including new cars and equipment. The 37-year-old will skip the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, instead making his season debut on April 12 at Salina Highbanks Speedway in Oklahoma.
Bergman will continue to drive the Oklahoma Chiller, Rider/Triple X No. 23 for his Bergman Motorsports team. His preparation extends beyond the track, focusing on mental health and personal development to maintain his competitive edge.
The season opener at Salina Highbanks Speedway will be available for live streaming on DIRTVision, with tickets available at the gate on race day.
