FREMONT, Ohio (July 14, 2025) — FREMONT, Ohio (July 14, 2025) — Cole Macedo picked up the biggest feature victory of his career Monday night in front of the audience that witnessed his progression through the sprint car ranks Monday night at Fremont Speedway with the Kubota High Limit Sprint Car Series.
Macedo, a regular with the World of Outlaws, was persistent about competing against High Limit at Fremont where he is a former track champion. After the High Limit event was rescheduled following a rainout earlier in the season. That decision proved wise as the 25-year-old driver from Lemore, California was the fastest qualifier, won his heat race, won the dash, and led all 35 laps of the main event.
The clean sweep was far from easy as Macedo had to withstand challenges from Brad Sweet during the early stages of the feature before Kyle Larson moved into the runner up position and was on Macedo’s back bumper for a restart with 10 laps to go. Macedo was up for the challenge throughout the 35-lap affair driving through lapped traffic and minimizing mistakes while others faltered behind him.
In what might be one of the most memorable feature finishes in recent memory, Macedo rode over the right rear tire of a lapped car at the finish line, flipping high into the air in turn one after the checkered flag. Even the crash could not damper Macedo and his Two-C Racing Team as they celebrated their first National touring sprint car victory together after Macedo’s wrecked car was lifted onto the scales by a tow truck and met the minimum weight requirements.
Larson held on for second while Tyler Courtney was able to slide by Sweet on the final lap to take the third position. Brent Marks moved up from 11th starting position to round out the top five.
