Race Recap

OUTLAWS BACK ON TOP: Kofoid Dominates Williams Grove’s Summer Nationals Opener

By Alex Nieten August 1, 2026

The Roth Motorsports crew becomes the first to double digit victories with a triumph over the PA Posse

The Pennsylvania Posse struck first this week, but the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series answered.

After York, PA’s Chase Dietz knotted up the 2026 scoreboard of the sport’s fiercest rivalry with a Wednesday win at BAPS Motor Speedway, it was Michael “Buddy” Kofoid putting The Greatest Show on Dirt back on top.

The tour rolled into Mechanicsburg, PA’s Williams Grove Speedway Friday Night for the C&D Rigging Summer Nationals opener. Kofoid lined up on the pole for the 25-lapper in the Roth Motorsports No. 83 and crushed the competition. Daryn Pittman tried to wheel the Kreitz Racing No. 69K up to Kofoid to challenge but couldn’t find the speed he needed. Kofoid pulled away in traffic on the way to the checkered flag.

“It’s definitely special,” Kofoid said of his 10th win of the season. “A couple years ago at this time I think we were only at one or two. I think last year we were at six or seven. So, it’s nice to just be progressively have a little bit more around this time. I got my first Williams Grove win a couple years ago. Then I didn’t feel that great last year but still could contend in the top five thinking hopefully I could get another one. I’ve had a rough few races, and then we were really good at BAPS. Then we just put it all together today at a place where it’s extremely hard to do that. Dylan (Buswell), Nate (Knotts), and Gage (Tyra) knocked it out of the park.”

The win made it 10 trips to Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws for Kofoid and the Roth crew in 2026. They’re the first to reach the double digit mark this season. It halted their longest winning drought of the campaign at eight races. Adding Friday’s score to his 2024 National Open prelim victory, Kofoid becomes the 33rd different driver to top multiple races with The Greatest Show on Dirt at the Mechanicsburg, PA oval. The Penngrove, CA native also reclaimed the second spot in points after recently losing it to Sheldon Haudenschild.

The World of Outlaws now lead the scoreboard over the PA Posse this year with three wins to two.

Daryn Pittman brought the Kreitz Racing ride home second in only the ninth Sprint Car race of the year for the semi-retired driver out of Owasso, OK.

David Gravel finished third in the Big Game Motorsports No. 2 for his fifth consecutive podium.

Logan Schuchart and Brent Marks completed the top five.

Track History

This track was built in 1939!

Williams Grove Speedway is one of the most historic tracks on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car schedule, having hosted the Series since 1978.

The famed Pennsylvania oval is home to the National Open each October, one of Sprint Car racing's crown jewel events. While the World of Outlaws Late Models don't currently compete here, Williams Grove hosted the inaugural World of Outlaws Late Model Series race in 1988.

Williams Grove is also the epicenter of the legendary World of Outlaws vs. Pennsylvania Posse rivalry. Every visit to Pennsylvania brings a matchup between the nation's best touring drivers and the region's top local stars, creating an atmosphere that's as close as dirt racing gets to a college gameday. Fueled largely by passionate fans, the rivalry has become one of the sport's most celebrated traditions.
