Cole Macedo will return for his second World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season in 2026, rejoining Todd Carlile’s TwoC Racing to drive the No. 2C with Wayne Johnson on the wrenches. The team announced Macedo plans to begin the World of Outlaws (WoO) tour at the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Feb. 4–7 as he moves into his sophomore season.

He recorded five top-five finishes and 20 top-10s in his 2025 rookie season, including a standout at Eldora Speedway where he climbed from 12th to third for a podium. He led feature laps at Talladega Short Track and Sharon Speedway, converting those runs into season-best finishes of fourth and sixth, respectively.

After the U.S. season, Macedo campaigned in Australia, scoring wins at Perth Motorplex during USA vs. WA Speedweek and at Premier Speedway in the International Sprintcar Carnival. He ran up front in the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic before a lapped-traffic incident took him out of contention.

To prepare for 2026, TwoC Racing and Macedo will make pre-season laps with the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) at Volusia Speedway Park’s “World’s Fastest Half Mile” from Jan. 29–31. The team called the Volusia program a focused warm-up to build on his rookie WoO momentum and recent international wins as he targets an improved sophomore season.
