Sweet Sails to First World of Outlaws Victory at Clay County Cup
The Kasey Kahne Racing driver leads the final 15 laps at Clay County Fairgrounds
SPENCER, Iowa — June 8, 2012 — Rather than the traditional wing dance, Brad Sweet jumped on the first part of his car he could get ahold of in a boisterous celebration at Clay County Fairgrounds.
Sweet, a NASCAR driver who can’t be kept away from the dirt, picked up his first career World of Outlaws victory in front of an electric crowd Friday at the Clay County Cup.
“It’s like, ‘Finally!’” he said after nearly climbing on the hood of his sprint car in Victory Lane. “We’ve been out here for a couple of years trying to get this. We’ve led so many laps and came so close so many times, so to finally get the monkey off my back I feel like we’re getting some momentum coming into the good summer months and I feel like we can win some more.”
