Cole Loftsgard, originally from Minnesota, started racing when he was 13 years old in go kart around road courses. Just 3 years later, Loftsgard moved to oval short tracks in Arizona, where he ran in the ASA Factory Stock division at Havasu 95 Speedway. The next season he ran a truck challenge series before racing a partial season in a super late model in the SRL Spears Southwest Tour in 2014. Currently Loftsgard runs with Round 3 Racing in a BMW M4 GT4. Loftsgard also runs select regional endurance races in a Porsche 718 GT4. He occasionally races with an endurance team in Brazil with an open top prototype. In his “off” time, Loftsgard works with a variety of auto manufactures at auto shows / auctions where he gives customer rides on track at speed, or around a drift course. He occasionally is a driver instructor as well in Nevada where he currently resides.
