Zach Hampton to Race for Bill Rose in 2025 World of Outlaws Rookie Quest
Bill Rose has selected Zach Hampton as the driver of his No. 6 car for the 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series full season campaign. Hampton joins an impressive rookie class that includes Cole Macedo, Chris Windom, Garet Williamson, and Skylar Gee in the competition for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year award.

The opportunity arose when Rose, still recovering from injuries, reached out to Hampton, who was considering stepping away from racing after selling his equipment. Hampton's racing credentials include multiple top 10 finishes at Knoxville Raceway in 2024 and a notable FAST victory at Circle City Raceway in 2023.
This step up to the World of Outlaws schedule presents a significant challenge for Hampton, who will face a packed calendar of approximately 90 races - nearly double his previous maximum of 52 races in a season. Despite the learning curve ahead, Hampton is enthusiastic about the consistent track time and opportunity to compete against elite drivers.
Bill Rose plans to return to racing himself once medically cleared, making this his 50th year in the sport. The team will begin their 2025 World of Outlaws season at the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park on February 5-8, with all races available live on DIRTVision.
