🇺🇸 Buddy Kofoid

Buddy Kofoid is a semi-professional driver with a Racer Rating of 3,089, placing him among competitive amateur and early-stage professional competitors. His on-record NASCAR career consists of two starts in the Truck Series in 2022, from which he took no wins or podiums and finished 39th overall. His average finishing position across those classified starts was 19th. In the limited data available from his Truck Series appearances, Kofoid finished ahead of several notably stronger drivers, including Carson Hocevar (a professional-level competitor), Christian Eckes (an established professional and 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion), Chandler Smith (another professional-level driver and Xfinity champion), and Derek Kraus (a professional competitor), though these instances represent single-race results rather than sustained head-to-head patterns.[1]

Kofoid's primary racing background lies in dirt track and sprint car competition, particularly in the USAC National Midget Series and POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series, where he holds the 2021 and 2022 USAC National Midget Series championships. His NASCAR Truck Series appearances in 2022 marked a brief venture into stock car racing at the national level. He has also competed part-time in ARCA and with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Since his 2022 Truck Series campaign, his recorded activity has shifted away from national-level stock car racing, with recent headlines from 2025 and 2026 indicating continued success in sprint car racing, though these results fall outside the scope of his formal career record on file.[2]
