Bill Balog didn't exactly grow up in a Sprint Car hot bed. He called Alaska home in his youth. Dirt bikes and snowmobiles were his race cars of choice in his early years. But a passion was born for Sprint Cars when he climbed in one at age 20.

He eventually moved and began to construct a racing career in the lower 48 states. A career that's led him to being the most dominant driver in Interstate Racing Association (IRA) history. "The North Pole Nightmare" has racked up 140 IRA wins and 10 championships, both all-time highs. He also picked up a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car victory at Beaver Dam Raceway in 2016.

And now in 2024, Balog is ready to join The Greatest Show on Dirt full-time for the first time. He's taking his personally-owned B2 Motorsports #17B on the road for the 80+ race schedule that will take him to 19 different states. Balog has hopes of adding his name to the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year list.
