Brad Sweet Enjoys a Sweet Weekend of racing
Loomis, CA-March 19, 2007--By: Troy Hennig, Gary Perkins Motorsports PR
Director
Grass Valley, California driver Brad Sweet enjoyed one of his best
racing weekends in recent memory. The 21-year-old sprint car driver won
his first career Golden State King of California Series main event
victory on Friday night at Kings Speedway in Hanford, CA. Sweet,
driving
the GP Development / LRB Manufacturing / Circle Race Wheels / A.R.T.
Enterprises #6 passed reigning King of California champion Jonathan
Allard on a late race restart to get the win. “It's exciting to get
my
first Golden State win but I think I'm more proud of how our team
responded after a tough start in Chico the weekend before,” said
Sweet.
“Gary Perkins has put a lot into his team and I'm so happy we got out
first win together in just a short amount of time.”
Sweet backed up his win on Friday by finishing fifth on Saturday night
after starting in the 13^th spot. “This weekend we seemed to just
click
at Kings Speedway,” said Sweet. “We also have brought on board Rod
Tiner
the last two weekends and the car has been just so good for me to
drive.”
Friday night Sweet qualified 5^th out of 30 drivers. He finished second
in his heat race and also second in the dash. Saturday night Sweet
timed
in at 14^th quick. He won heat race two but did not make it into the
dash. On Saturday night he passed eight cars to record the top five
finish.
The team is getting ready for Placerville Speedway this weekend, round
number five for the Golden State Series. Sweet has two wins at this
track, both in the 360 division. “I'd have to say Placerville is my
favorite track in California and I am looking forward to putting on a
good show for all the fans this weekend.”
