Sweet’s Aussie Sprintcar calendar set for 2024/25
US Sprintcar star and High Limit co-owner Brad Sweet will be heading back to Oz for the 2024/25 season, with WA team Landrigan Motorsports announcing his bumper seven event calendar.
Alongside the recent unveiling of the 2024/25 season calendar for the state of Western Australia, Sweet’s WA appearances are more-or less cemented, with Australia’s richest ever Sprintcar races – the High Limits International – to be at the start of his tour.
Sweet, the winner of five straight World of Outlaws titles from 2019-2023, will race in the USA#49 Landrigan Motorsports Maxim Sprintcar.
“We have been working closely with Brad to map out our schedule over the past couple of months, as the tracks over here piece their calendars together, and we are all very happy with how our calendar looks,” commented Landrigan Motorsports team manager, Jamie Landrigan.
“This is going to be our third consecutive season with Brad as our driver here in Australia and with the exciting recent announcement of the three nights of the High Limits International event at the Perth Motorplex over the Christmas-New Year period, we are looking forward to what is going to be an enjoyable time racing together as we try and chase getting to the top step of the podium.”

The High Limit Series which is a product of NASCAR star Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet’s purchase from Tony Stewart, has set itself up as a major rival to the World of Outlaws series in the States.
Stewart, a NASCAR Hall of Famer and current NHRA drag racer, owned the All-Star Circuit of Champions before the deal was done to sell it on.
Its big purses and competitive calendar set-up has seen many WoO regulars, including Australia’s own James McFadden, prioritise the High Limits season over the WoO option, which is currently in its 45th year and itself just enjoyed a record year of awarded money purses.
