Carson Macedo and Jason Johnson Racing didn't get the season they wanted in 2026, but they got the ending.
Macedo started eighth in the 25-lap World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car finale at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. Giovanni Scelzi led the first 16 laps in the Spire Motorsports No. 77. Then Macedo found his line, took over and led the final nine laps to collect $25,000. Michael "Buddy" Kofoid finished second, Scelzi third, and Buddy Schweibinz and Steven Snyder Jr. completed the top five.
It was Macedo's eighth win of the season and the 66th of his World of Outlaws career, tying Bobby Davis Jr. and Craig Dollansky for 14th all-time.
Gravel's third crown. David Gravel left Charlotte as the 2026 World of Outlaws Sprint Car champion, the third title of his career. Alex Yankowski also earned his first Super DIRTcar Series championship on the same night.
World Finals winners: Rico Abreu took Thursday's opener, Giovanni Scelzi won Friday (putting Spire Motorsports in World of Outlaws Victory Lane) and Macedo closed out Saturday.
