🏳️ Buddy Kofoid

Buddy Kofoid is an American driver whose background lies primarily in dirt track and open-wheel competition. Racing out of the USAC and POWRi Midget ranks with Keith Kunz Motorsports, he built a reputation as one of the sport's top young talents, claiming USAC National Midget Series championships in 2021 and 2022 and picking up notable wins such as his triumph at Huset's Speedway in June 2022. That midget and sprint car pedigree, including stints with the World of Outlaws, established him as a prospect before he ventured into stock car competition, including a part-time ARCA Menards Series program with Venturini Motorsports.[1]

Kofoid's NASCAR Truck Series ledger currently shows two career starts, with no wins and no podium finishes to date, a mark consistent with a driver in the early, part-time stages of stock car development rather than a full-time campaign. His Racer Rating of 2,384 places him 4445th among active drivers on Racer DB's Elo-style scale, reflecting the limited sample size of his truck starts relative to competitors with fuller schedules. In the 2026 season, he has appeared in two rounds without a win or podium, sitting 65th in the standings. His status in the database is listed as retired, closing out a Truck Series body of work defined more by his broader open-wheel accomplishments than by results accumulated at NASCAR's national touring level.[2]
