In 2004, he would run one race for Peterson at Kansas Speedway, where he would finish 33rd due to transmission issues, before making four starts with Norm Benning Racing in the No. 8 Chevrolet with a best finish of 34th at Gateway International Raceway due to a clutch issue. He would then make two more starts for Benning the following year before making a start for his own team in the No. 87 Chevrolet at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt track, where he would finish 32nd due to vibrations due to vibrations in the car.
In 2006, Koch would attempt all but run race in the schedule for K&K Racing in a mix of Chevrolets and Pontiacs for the No. 79 entry, finishing 25th in the final points standings with a best finish of twentieth at Kansas despite failing to qualify fourteen races that year. For the following year in 2007, he would enter in all events on the schedule in the No. 79, where he would finish twentieth in the points with a best result of 22nd at Toledo Speedway despite failing to qualify for six races. In 2008, he would enter in the first seven races of the schedule, this time solely in a Chevrolet, failing to qualify at the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway, and qualifying for the next six races, getting a best result of 23rd at Rockingham Speedway.
In 2009, Koch would run at Salem in his self owned No. 28 Ford, where he would qualify in nineteenth and lead four laps before cutting a tire on lap 71 and eventually retiring from the race on lap 112 when the car developed brake issues. He would officially be classified in 21st. He would run three more races, with two of those races being run with Hixson Motorsports.
