Bill Rose has chosen Zach Hampton to drive his No. 6 car full-time in the 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. Hampton joins an impressive rookie class alongside Cole Macedo, Chris Windom, Garet Williamson, and Skylar Gee, all competing for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year award.

Hampton, from Mooresville, IN, was considering stepping away from racing when Rose approached him with this opportunity. The timing proved perfect as Hampton had been selling his equipment with no concrete plans for the future.

With notable experience in Sprint Car racing, Hampton's 2024 season featured multiple top 10 finishes at Knoxville Raceway, and he secured a FAST victory at Circle City Raceway in 2023. The World of Outlaws schedule, with approximately 90 races, represents a significant step up from his previous maximum of 52 races in a season.

Bill Rose, while adding Hampton to the team, plans to return to racing himself once medically cleared, as 2025 marks his 50th year in racing. The season begins at Volusia Speedway Park's Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals on February 5-8, with all races available live on DIRTVision.
