Buddy Kofoid Gets First Win With Roth Motorsports At I-70 Motorsports Park
Buddy Kofoid captured his first win with the Roth Motorsports team during Friday's Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions event at I-70 Motorsports Park.
Buddy Kofoid made it look almost easy on Friday night at I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa, Missouri, conquering Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 competition for his first series victory of the 2023 season. The All Star Invasion presented by El Bandido Yankee Tequila triumph secured Kofoid an $8,000 payday, leading all 30 circuits around I-70’s state-of-the-art complex while keeping Lake Ozark winner, Aaron Reutzel, and recent High Limit victor, Rico Abreu, at bay.
The win was Kofoid's first since joining forces with the Roth Motorsports team.
Lining up third on the A-Main grid, the initial start was all it took for Kofoid to claim command, earning the advantage to lead lap one over Zeb Wise and Rico Abreu. The only hiccup in Kofoid’s perfect campaign, the main event’s lone caution flew on lap 22 setting up a nine-lap dash to the finish. The field restack did not matter, as Kofoid sailed away for the victory.
Aaron Reutzel and Rico Abreu did their fair share of sliders for second, eventually settling into their finishing positions in the closing circuits.
Clovis, California’s Corey Day would race home fourth after starting 17th, followed by fellow California hotshoe, Justin Sanders.

Winning Quote From Buddy Kofoid
“I feel like we’ve been knocking at the door for a while. I knew I was really good here last year, and ultimately could be even better here this year. Just so happy to get a win for Roth Motorsports and Toyota Racing. This is a team I’ve always admired growing up and it was always a dream to have the opportunity to race for them. This track is really demanding. People wouldn’t think that considering how big and wide it is, but it really takes a lot out of you. Everyone did one hell of a job and I'm so happy to be here.”
