Sweet Steals the Spotlight and the Prize at Beaver Dam Raceway
BEAVER DAM, Wis. – Beaver Dam Raceway has once again proven why it’s a must-visit destination for racing fans. The recent Jim “JB” Boyd Memorial showcased 40 laps of electrifying action, cementing its reputation as a hub for non-stop racing excitement.
High Stakes and Riveting Rivals
The $20,000 prize was on the line, setting the stage for an intense showdown between two of California’s racing titans: Brad Sweet and Carson Macedo. Macedo initially led the race, but Sweet’s relentless pursuit proved that perseverance pays off. After battling through the field to secure the second position on Lap 25, Sweet had his sights firmly set on Macedo.
The Turning Point: A Masterful Maneuver
As the competition heated up, Sweet, known as “The Big Cat,” skillfully navigated through traffic. With laps winding down, Macedo faced a slip-up in the tricky corners of Turns 1 and 2. In this crucial moment, Sweet seized the opportunity, executing a flawless outside pass to take the lead. His mastery over the Kasey Kahne Racing No. 49 would soon lead him to victory.
"I just got up on the wheel," Sweet reflected. "We are working hard, and I’m tired of losing these races. The competition level is at an all-time high."
His determination and strategy led to a comfortable win, bringing his tally to an impressive 92 victories with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
Struggling Stars Shine Bright
While Sweet basked in victory, others were also making their mark. Anthony Macri, who charged from seventh to claim second, expressed his enthusiasm:
“It’s badass! We haven’t been doing well, but my guys haven’t given up. Their hard work paid off today.”
Meanwhile, Sheldon Haudenschild faced challenges of his own but managed to secure a podium finish.
