GRANVILLE, Australia – Reigning World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series champion Brad Sweet won the fourth round of Ultimate Sydney Speedweek at Valvoline Raceway on Wednesday.
Sweet grabbed his third victory in four Speedweek races by driving around All Star Circuit of Champions titlist Aaron Reutzel with nine to go in the 35-lap main event.
From there, Sweet was untouchable in his No. 7 American Tire & Racing Service Spike, winning by 1.408 seconds as Reutzel settled for the runner-up honors.
Marcus Dumesny finished third ahead of Jamie Veal, who led the first 21 laps from the pole after topping qualifying, winning his heat race and dominating the pole shuffle.
Carson Macedo was fifth, followed by Sam Walsh, Lynton Jeffrey, Robbie Farr, Jackson Delamont and Ben Atkinson.
American McKenna Haase finally cracked her first Speedweek main event of the winter, finishing 22nd, while Australian World of Outlaws ace Ian Madsen finished a disappointing 23rd after retiring from the main event with seven laps to go from a top-five running spot.
Macedo won the companion Australian Grand Prix Speedcar midget event.
