Brad Sweet won the High Limit stop at Southern Oklahoma Speedway Friday (Video Highlights from FloRacing.com)
In his 10th start with Kubota High Limit Racing, Brad Sweet finally broke through with the series and won Friday's stop at Southern Oklahoma Speedway to get his first-career win worth $12,000.
"The Big Cat" started third in the 30-lap A-Main and followed pole sitter Spencer Bayston for the opening five laps before the first restart allowed the Grass Valley, CA native a chance to take the lead on Lap 6. Once around Bayston, the Kasey Kahne Racing, NAPA Auto Parts #49 set sail and cruised to the win after battling lap traffic and overcoming a green-white-checkered.
Championship leader Tyler Courtney maintained his points lead over Brad Sweet thanks to a hard-charging effort from 12th-to-2nd aboard the Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drink #7BC. For Sunshine, it's his sixth podium in eight races as he holds onto a 28-point advantage ahead of Salina Highbanks Speedway on Saturday.
Spencer Bayston made his first appearance on the podium this season with a P3 finish aboard the CJB Motortsports, TrueTimber #5 after beginning the night with a new track record in Capitol Renegade Qualifying and earning the pole with an FK Rod Ends Dash win. He's now back into the fifth and final High Stakes Charter position with a eight-point cushion over Jacob Allen's Shark Racing #1A.
Brent Marks and Corey Day rounded out the top-five with Rico Abreu, Tanner Thorson, James McFadden, Parker Price-Miller, and Cory Eliason closing out the top-10.
