Sweet

American sprintcar legend Brad Sweet will return to Australia in the 2024/25 season where he will race for Landrigan Motorsport.

For the third season in a row, the Port Hedland, Western Australia-based Landrigan Motorsport team and Sweet will join forces.

It will see Sweet steer the USA # 49 NAPA Auto Parts / TLC Contracting supported Maxim.

Like last summer he will compete in Western Australia during the busy Christmas-New Year period for the second season in succession.

He put on a mighty show out west winning three races from five starts in a memorable USA v WA Speedweek.

Sweet is an all time great of sprintcar racing having won five World of Outlaws Sprintcar Series championships in a row from 2018-2023.

This year he is now competing in the High Limit Racing series which he owns with NASCAR champion Kyle Larson.

Sweet is well on his way to adding another crown as he currently leads the High Limit standings by 83 points.

“The Landrigan Motorsport team is currently working hard during this off season in readiness for Brad’s return to Australia,” enthused Landrigan.

“Brad is one of the world’s best Sprintcar racers and it’s a big honour to be able to once again have him running for the Landrigan Motorsport team and being a part of the current Sprintcar racing boom here in Western Australia.”
