Brad Sweet’s quickly learned, needless to say, there’s many moving parts and pieces that go into the development of the High Limit Sprint Car Series.

Milling around Lakeside Speedway’s front-stretch in the April 10 opener of the tour’s inaugural season at the Kansas City, Kan., oval, Sweet delivered an enlightening update to the seven other drivers that awaited their dash draw.

“We’re moving our feature up,” Sweet said, indicating the 30-lap, $50,000-to-win main event would run before the night’s accompanying modified division.

“That’s what we like to see,” Cory Eliason quipped.

“That’s what happens when racers make the decisions,” Sweet said through a widening smile.

Unlike Lakeside Speedway, Sweet won’t be competing in the High Limit Series second race of the year Tuesday at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. As Sweet chases his fifth World of Outlaws title, he wants to remain eligible for series platinum benefits, which are fully retained as long as a series full-time driver races in no more than four non-Outlaw races during the season.

Sweet will, however, still work behind the scenes in charging those very decisions that go into an efficient, appreciable program.

“I’ll be in a tractor or water truck or wherever I be of assistance,” Sweet, High Limit’s cofounder, said. “I’ll put my official’s cap on, which is exciting for me because I think I can help on a lot of aspects of the event. Hopefully we’ll let our stars put on a good show.”

As Sweet and his cofounder Kyle Larson have reiterated, High Limit’s identity doesn’t necessarily need the well-known personalities of the World of Outlaws in order to flourish. For starters, the High Limit Series features the last three Kings Royal winners in Larson, Brent Marks Marks and Tyler Courtney. It also brings four of Spring Car racing’s finest young talents in Anthony Macri, Buddy Kofoid, Justin Sanders and Ryan Timms, plus fan favorite Rico Abreu.

Track champions of high-profile venues in Brian Brown (reigning champ of Iowa’s Knoxville Raceway), Danny Dietrich (last year’s champ at Pennsylvania’s Williams Grove Speedway) and Justin Henderson (2021 champ at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.) bolster the roster, too.

“That’s what we’re trying to do for these teams is subsidize their travel a little, give them a Tuesday night show that has a big purse,” Sweet said in light of Tuesday’s $23,023-to-win race at 34 Raceway, which had been easily Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway “34 is a great racetrack that’s in (Knoxville’s) vicinity. It puts on great races. It was kind of a no-brainer. … We won’t have quite as many of the Outlaw names but it’ll still be stacked. We don’t know who’s going to win. There’s going to be so many good guys that’ll be there. I’m excited.”

If there’s anything Sweet is focused on improving the most among his many racing endeavors, it’s studying the science that goes into sufficiently prepping a racetrack. At Lakeside, it was Sweet handling most of the track prep, which meant a good amount of time spent earlier in the day on the water truck.

“The more knowledge I can learn on how to work the dirt the more of an asset I can actually be once I become a full-time promoter instead of a racer,” Sweet said. “It’s really always been easy to critique when you’re on the racing side, to critique the racetrack. Now I’m the guy getting critiqued.

“(Lakeside) was a lot different — a lot of work — trying to make sure we had the track right,” Sweet added. “Our product can be good … there’s just a lot of attention to detail. Just trying to put some of my experiences of racing at some of these places, and racing at Lakeside and seeing some of the tendencies there.

“That dirt can get wetter as the night goes on. It’s really crucial to not overwater it, which I think we did good,” Sweet continued. “Qualifying was a little slick, a little slicker than I was hoping. With a little rework through the night, we were able to get it to where we need it to be. It actually had two and three lanes, as far as that side of things.”

Further assessing Lakeside, Sweet is obviously happy that Jake Neuman emerged from his vicious crash in time trials in stable condition, and that the High Limit staff, along with Lakeside officials, handled the scary situation as well as possible.

“Obviously the Jake Neumann crash at the beginning of the night was a curveball we were not expecting, and obviously never hope for those things to happen,” Sweet said. “Really glad he’s OK. It was crazy to be a part of that situation. Typically you’re not involved in that part of it when you’re there racing. Glad he’s OK. Glad he’s on the mend.”

As far as 34 Raceway goes, Sweet’s keen on building momentum as the series heads for three races in four weeks, with May 2’s event at Kokomo (Ind.) Raceway and May 16’s race at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio, on deck.

“I’m a details guy and I know there’s certainly room for improvement,” Sweet said.

“We’re not going to say we were perfect at Lakeside,” he added. “We definitely want to acknowledge there’s room for improvement on all aspects of everything we’re doing. We want to go into 34 and have a good, solid event, and hopefully improve on what we did at Lakeside.”
