BRANDON, SD – Michael Kofoid was merely nine-years-old when he strapped in and manhandled a Sprint Car for the first time. It was a life-changing experience for the Penngrove, CA native and drastically shaped his path to motorsports stardom at the ripe age of 20-years-old. Before Thursday, he was already a proven ace with a USAC National Midget championship, All Star Circuit of Champions victories, a Trophy Cup title, and success in the NASCAR Truck Series.
