Carson Macedo has re-signed with Jason Johnson Racing (JJR) to compete in his eighth consecutive World of Outlaws (WoO) season and his sixth with JJR. He will again pilot the No. 41, and the team framed his return as a pursuit of the championship it was built to win.

Since joining JJR, Macedo has compiled 52 WoO series victories, two National Open crowns, the $83,000 Dennis Roth Classic and four wins at Knoxville Raceway. While driving the No. 41 he has never finished worse than third in season points. After a strong 2025 campaign — 11 wins, 25 podiums, 35 top-five finishes and 53 top-10s — he slipped to third in the standings behind Michael Kofoid but recorded his fourth season in five with double-digit victories.

Owner and crew chief Philip Dietz returns to lead the effort, joined again by car chief Robby McQuinn and tire specialist Adam Zimmerman; the trio will enter 2026 together for a third season of continuity. JJR views that continuity, combined with Macedo’s record, as central to mounting a realistic championship bid. The team will begin its title chase at the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., Feb. 4–7. The announcement reaffirms Macedo and JJR as front-runners on the World of Outlaws trail.
