Seth Bergman, the 2024 ASCS National Tour champion, is set to defend his title in the 2025 season. The 37-year-old from Snohomish, WA, will return with his Bergman Motorsports team, piloting the Oklahoma Chiller, Rider/Triple X No. 23.

Despite his impressive 2024 campaign, which included seven wins and 24 top-five finishes in 31 races, Bergman sees room for improvement. His main rival, five-time Tour champion Sam Hafertepe Jr., outperformed him in several statistical categories, including wins (12) and Quick Time Awards (13).

"Now that we've got one, I want to come back and back it up," Bergman said. "I want to show that it wasn't just a one-time thing, that we're building something consistent here that can consistently compete and win championships at this level."

For the 2025 season, Bergman's team is preparing with all-new cars and upgraded equipment. He will skip the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, focusing instead on his season debut at Salina Highbanks Speedway on April 12.

Bergman's confidence stems from his recent personal growth: "The past few years, I feel like I've been coming into my own as a driver and a man. When I climb into the race car these days, I'm confident. I know I've put in a ton of work outside the racetrack just on myself, my mental [health]."

Fans can watch Bergman's championship defense beginning April 12 at Salina Highbanks Speedway in Salina, OK, with tickets available at the gate. All races will be streamed live on DIRTVision.
