It’s the end of an era. �
Brad Sweet has announced his retirement from full-time competition — moving to a part-time schedule, focusing on his family and businesses.

A hall of fame career fueled by a childhood dream & unstoppable work ethic.

Now for the next chapter. �

Im going to guess Tanner Holmes to the 49.  Tyler Montgomery would also be a good call... then again, it ain't my money so WTF do I know ;-)

Daison Pursley is the rumor going around.

Pursley is taking over the KKR 9 

 

In Pursley speech at the High Limit banquet he said hes looking forward to continuing his wing sprint car career. No mention of Buch Motorsports for 2026. 

 

Sweet & Kahne will share the driving duties of the KKR 49. 

 

It sounds like Holmes will not be back in the Tarlton 21 for next year. I expect him to be a top target for Tom Buch.

Holmes to the 13 would be a good opportunity

Just give us a little more thought, and since I have zero money in the game and zero credibility within the sport, I'm sure the owners are gonna pick his attention to my opinion. What about Peck back to the 13 and Holmes to the 26? There is a Pacific Northwest connection between homes and the 26, And Peck seemed to have more success in the 13... wishful thinking, but I'm already looking forward to 2026!

Another name to keep in mind for the Buch 13 is Briggs Danner. His path is somewhat similar to Pursley both race no wing and we're successful.

Not surprised at Sweet going part time.  His plate can only hold so much with his business side of the sport and he's not getting any younger, though he's far from decrepit.  Nothing left to prove behind the wheel so better to quit while you're ahead of the game.

Good for Brad, he can enjoy other aspects of his life now.  Side note...I never really cared for Brad that much,  talked to him briefly a couple times and just didnt care for him.  Nothing like jumping to conclusions about someone.  Flew back from the WoO race at Knoxville and got to talk to Brad and his wife quite a bit.  Came off as very friendly.  Funny cause I always argued with people saying Sammy was rude etc but Ive only had good interactions with him.

It has already been announced a few weeks ago Peck staying with the 26 and running HL
