Racing career

Early career

Sweet began his top-level racing career in 2008, driving for

Turner Motorsports, finishing 28th in points in 2011.[5]

NASCAR Nationwide Series

In 2012 Sweet drove the No. 38

Nationwide Series car, a Chevrolet sponsored by Great Clips and owned by Turner Motorsports, in a limited schedule. He competed in 18 of the series' races, with Kasey Kahne driving the car during the remainder of the year.[6] Sweet competed for the Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year award.[2] In addition to driving in the Nationwide Series, he will also continue to drive for Kasey Kahne Racing in the World of Outlaws series, driving the No. 49.[7] He finished 18th in series points, before moving to JR Motorsports to drive the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro part-time in 2013.[8]

World of Outlaws

Sweet currently drives the NAPA Auto Parts/Ollie's Bargain Outlet number 49 for Kasey Kahne Racing.[9] As of November 5, 2022, Sweet has 79 career A-main wins placing him in 11th place on the prestigious Top 25 all-time wins list.[10] He collected his first World of Outlaws win in 2012 at the Clay County Speedway.[11] In 2013, he won the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway, one of the biggest races of the year for his only win that season.[12][13] He ended 2013 ranked 18th in points. Sweet started the 2014 season by winning the season opener at Volusia Speedway for his third career World of Outlaws win.[14] Sweet has said that the World of Outlaws is more of a home than NASCAR, his previous series.[15] Sweet won the 2018 Knoxville Nationals,[16] the first Nationals victory for Kasey Kahne Racing;[17] he finished second in the 2018 Kings Royal to Donny Schatz, but returned in 2019 to win the event for the second time.[18]

Sweet has won five World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championships in a row, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.[19] He took the title in 2019 over Donny Schatz with 16 wins,[20] and repeated a title run in 2020, winning eight times and becoming the sixth driver to win multiple WoO championships.[21]
