Winston West and Winston Cup Series
After starting his career at local tracks in the western United States, Krogh moved up to the NASCAR Winston West Series (now the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, Western Division) in 1996. Competing full-time in the series, he competed in 14 of the 15 events that season, finishing second in both the championship chase and the Rookie-of-the-Year competition to Lance Hooper.
Krogh was credited as scoring a single victory over the course of the season. This was in the first of two races the Winston West Series ran during the season at Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, California; the event was a combination event with the NASCAR Winston Cup Series Save Mart Supermarkets 300. Krogh finished 35th overall in the event, but first among Winston West competitors; a second combination race later that year at Phoenix International Raceway saw Krogh finising 41st overall and second among Winston West Series drivers to eventual champion Hooper; these were the only Winston Cup events he would compete in.

“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
