He started in go-karts, raced a late model for a year, ran b-modifieds "back in the day" and switched to sprint cars in 1989 at Knoxville. He's a pure sprint car fan and literally eat, sleeps and breathes racing. At last count, he had over 50 sprint car feature wins and has run all classes (410s, 360s and 305s). Cole made his 410 debut at Spoon River Speedway in September 2022 where he finished 12
th with the MOWA series. 2023 was scheduled to be 8-10 races around the Midwest and once or twice at Knoxville. The season started with MOWA at 34 Raceway for a two day show and then due to rainouts, he ended up making his Knoxville debut earlier than expected. Cole followed that up with another race at Knoxville for laps and then it was decided to keep him in the car instead of Dad (Bobby Mincer). He finished 17th in points and missed out on Rookie of the Year to Lachlan McHugh. Cole's sophomore season included running 410s at Knoxville Raceway season and handful of races in the Midwest. 2025 has an aggressive schedule that will add some 360 racing also.
