Brad Sweet retirement speech
“Racing has been my whole life,” Brad Sweet stated from the stage at the High Limit Racing banquet.
“Walking away from driving full time, it’s not easy. But, I know this, I gave it everything I had, every lap, every season, every championship.”
“This isn’t goodbye to racing. It’s just the end of a chapter, behind the wheel, full-time. I will still be around supporting this sport we all love and giving back as much as I possibly can to the next generation.”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Sweet picked up four races wins in 49 races with the High Limit Series this season. He also ran 15 races this season with the World of Outlaws, picking up one race win.
There has been no announcement of his replacement in the No. 49 car for Kasey Kahne Racing.
