TUCSON, AZ — Brad Sweet claimed his first win of the season, and his 35th career World of Outlaws win overall at USA Raceway. He bested last year’s Rookie of the Year Ian Madsen to get it. Madsen took the early lead of the race, and looked to be en route to his second win of the year. However, he hit lap traffic early, slowing his pace and allowing Sweet to eventually catch him. Once Sweet took the lead, he never looked back. Madsen finished second, and David Gravel rounded out the podium.
