Running second can get old fast. It’s one spot away from victory and all that comes with it. It’s watching someone else celebrate while being left to wonder how to be one position better. It’s not a preferable place to continually wind up, especially for a driver and team accustomed to winning as often as Michael “Buddy” Kofoid and Roth Motorsports.
There may be no stopping Michael “Buddy” Kofoid this week at Huset’s Speedway. The 24-year-old entered the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals as the clear-cut favorite. Heading into Wednesday’s Hefty Seed Huset’s Hustle prelim, Kofoid had won five of the last seven World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car visits to the 1/3 mile including the last three straight.
It might be time to start writing Michael “Buddy” Kofoid’s name on the check before a race even starts at Huset’s Speedway. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series rolled into the Brandon, SD track on Monday for the Stars and Stripes Salute presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking finale. At first, Kofoid and his Roth Motorsports team actually looked beatable.
A strong sendoff to the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season is always valuable. It’s a long road that takes the country’s best Sprint Car teams to several states from coast-to-coast and dozens of racetracks for roughly 80 nights of action per year.
