Sweet Scores Five On Late Race Pass at Bakersfield
Red flags and flared tempers color series return after 11-year absence
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – April 15, 2016 – Brad Sweet claimed his fifth World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series victory of the season through red flags and flared tempers at Bakersfield Speedway on Friday night.
Sweet, who passed Joey Saldana on a late restart in the Budweiser Bash feature, tied Donny Schatz for the most wins on the season.
“It seemed like every time the race started getting good the caution came out,” Sweet said. “The track was getting really really tricky but in great racing shape… It’s awesome. We got a great start to the season, my guys behind me have given me great cars all throughout the year. Can’t thank them enough. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going.”
