For the only time until the Knoxville Nationals, the World of Outlaws Nos Energy Drink Sprint Cars will run at the Knoxville Raceway this weekend. The outlaws have had one of the most competitive seasons with the top five 100 points separating them. Points leader and three time defending champion Brad Sweet tells KNIA/KRLS Sports when you are the points leader, there are some days where you have to take the finish that is given to you. He says it is not as fun, but in the end consistency has been his best friend.

Sweet: “Later in the season it seems like you’re in a points championship battle. It’s not that fun sometimes, but we do try to go out and win every race, but when you get down to that point where your trying to secure a title it does make things a little different.”

Sweet has been on a bit of a dry spell at Knoxville. He has not won at the half mile since June of 2019. Listen for live coverage starting with Live Track Side at 5:00 on both 94.3 and 95.3 KNIA, then Race Nights Live will be on 95.3 only due to summer sports coverage.
