After a month of speculation, ownership of the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series has changed hands.<\/p>\n

Out is three-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart; in is four-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Champion Brad Sweet and his brother-in-law, 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Kyle Larson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve learned a lot throughout our inaugural midweek season this year,\u201d Sweet said in the announcement released on Monday. \u201cWe have a strong desire to expand on what we\u2019ve learned and continue to contribute to and grow sprint car racing. Kyle and I, like Tony, believe in this sport and want to provide more opportunities for teams, drivers and tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart, who purchased the Series in 2015, was the fourth different owner since the series\u2019 creation in 1970. Since then, he grew the tour by expanding its footprint throughout the country, adding to the purse structure and even entering a streaming component with FloRacing in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy intention was to unite what had become a divided class of regional 410 winged sprint car racing,\u201d Stewart said in the release. \u201cOver the last nine years, not only have we unified, but we also pushed the boundaries on our geographic footprint, purse structure and race format, while providing a Series that has groomed young talent and provided a continued course for our seasoned veteran drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through that time, Stewart believes he\u2019s leaving the Series in a better place than when he acquired it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have developed great relationships with corporate partners, tracks, promoters, team owners and drivers,\u201d he said. \u201cAll of which have contributed to the success of the All Star Series. The time is right to pass the torch to Kyle and Brad. I have had many conversations with them both on their overall vision for 410 racing and I am confident that with their leadership, the sport will continue to thrive into the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

During this season, Larson and Sweet formed the High Limit Sprint Car Series. The 2023 schedule featured 12 mid-week events that paid large winner\u2019s shares with a solid purse structure throughout the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
