Looking ahead to 2025, Kofoid and Roth Motorsports aim to secure the team's first World of Outlaws championship.

The team's continued partnership with Toyota and Mobil 1 provides additional stability as they pursue their championship goals. Kofoid credits his rapid development to competing against the elite competition in the World of Outlaws series, stating it has contributed the most to his growth as a race car driver.
