Brad Sweet Tames Avanti Duel in the Desert at Central Arizona Raceway

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — For the second week in a row, a Kasey Kahne Racing 1-2 finish led the way with Kubota High Limit Racing. Like last time, it was Brad Sweet's No. 49 taking the win over bossman Kasey Kahne's No. 9 - extending the wait for what is the much-anticipated first-career national sprint car win for the popular Kahne.

The big difference this time was that Kahne controlled his own destiny and led the opening 10 laps before Sweet pounced on his team owner in lap traffic at Central Arizona Raceway's Avanti Duel in the Desert.

Ultimately, Sweet led the final 15 laps and survived a slight scare in the closing laps as traffic allowed Kahne to narrow the margin of victory down to 0.384-seconds.

The win marked Sweet's 12th overall trip to Whiskey Myers Victory Lane, tying him with Rico Abreu as the winningest driver in Kubota High Limit Racing history. It was his second Casm Safety Products Win Sticker of 2025, putting him alongside Aaron Reutzel as the only repeat winners through six races.

Kahne matched his career-best runner-up result from a week ago with another second-place finish in the Kahne Screen Print, HendrickCars.com No. 9. Rounding out the podium was Tyler Courtney aboard his Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drink No. 7BC.

Closing out the top-10 at Central Arizona was Aaron Reutzel, Rico Abreu, Justin Peck, Robbie Price, Brent Marks, Daison Pursley, and Spencer Bayston.
