Sweet’s current season has been stellar so far in “The drive for Five” in the WoO Series as he has recorded 10x wins, 39x Top 5’s and 57x Top 10’s out of his 63x event starts, handing him a 90 point lead over David Gravel as the series winds down into the final 10 rounds, concluding at “The Dirt Track at Charlottle for the WoO World Finals in early November.
“The Big Cat” is also no stranger to Australian shores or the Landrigan Racing Team, after a short campaign at the 2023 edition of the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic – which saw Sweet conclude the A main in 12th position at Premier Speedway, Warrnambool.
“We are so pumped to have Brad joining us again this year. We have a little bit of unfinished business after the classic last year, and we cant wait to get out there and put on a show for the fans.
