FREMONT, Ohio – Most racers like to do victory donuts. Not Cole Macedo. The Lemoore, California native won his first national touring race Monday, July 14 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction and after taking the checkers hopped the right rear of another car and flipped. But, the win against the Kubota High Limit Racing Series Roto-Rooter Midweek Series stood for Macedo, who moved to Fremont, Ohio a few years ago to pursue a career in sprint car racing.
Macedo, who is vying for the rookie of the year honors with the World of Outlaws aboard the 2C racing owned by Todd and Kelly Carlile, served notice he was the car to beat on Kistler Racing Products Night. He set fast time in qualifications, then driving from fourth to his heat race win, and dominating he dash to start on the pole of the 35 lap, $12,000-to-win feature.
Macedo led every lap of the A-main, though it wasn’t easy as Kyle Larson pressured him the final nine laps and he had to deal with very heavy lapped traffic from lap 10 to the end. After the flip at the end of the race, the team held their breath as the car had to be lowered onto the scales by a wrecker, creating a tense few minutes before it was announced Macedo had made weight.
“I thought I had lost the race when I flipped. I didn’t see the checkers. This is so awesome to do this in front of the friends and family I made here…I grew up here. I love this race track. I had to really push the team to come to this race and it paid off,” said Macedo beside his Outlaw Wings, Rod End Supply, Wedge High Performance Karts, Keizer Wheels backed machine.
“Wayne and all the guys have been working so hard this year. We’ve had speed but just couldn’t seal the deal. This gives me a huge burst of confidence and hopefully we can get a lot more of these national series wins,” added Macedo of his 11th career win at Fremont.
Rounding out the top five were Larson, Tyler Courtney, Brad Sweet and Brent Marks.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 26 on Pirate Invasion Night featuring the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group 410 sprints, the Real Geese Decoys/Real Capz AFCS 305 Sprints and the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks.
