World Drivers' Championship career

edit

The AAA/USAC-sanctioned Indianapolis 500 was included in the FIA World Drivers' Championship from 1950 through 1960. Drivers competing at Indianapolis during those years were credited with World Drivers' Championship participation, and were eligible to score WDC points alongside those which they may have scored towards the AAA/USAC National Championship.

Cole attempted to qualify for one World Drivers' Championship race at Indianapolis, failing to make the 1950 race.[1]
