FREMONT, OH (July 4, 2020) — Buddy Kofoid has not had the opportunity to race a sprint car often this season due to his midget racing commitments. Kofoid made the most of one of those opportunities Saturday at Fremont Speedway during Cometic Gaskets Ohio Sprint Speedway presented by Hercules Tire with the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1.

Kofoid started on the front row and led all 35-laps in route to the victory. Kofoid, the 2019 track champion at Fremont, was able to drive around two lapped cars in the waning stages of the main event to fend off defending All Star champion Aaron Reutzel for the victory. The win was Kofoid’s sixth victory of the season and third sprint car victory of the year.

Reutzel held on for second while Cole Duncan, Greg Wilson, and Josh Baughman rounded out the top five.
