Racing career Early career Sweet began his top-level racing career in 2008, driving for Kasey Kahne Racing in midget cars and sprint cars in the USAC National Midget Series and World of Outlaws series. Sweet proved competitive, winning some of the series' top races, including the Knoxville Midget Nationals, and won at Eldora Speedway, one of the most famous short tracks in America, in both sprint and midget cars. In 2010 and 2011, he drove partial seasons in the Camping World Truck Series for Stringer Motorsports and Turner Motorsports, finishing 28th in points in 2011.

NASCAR Nationwide Series In 2012 Sweet drove the No. 38 Nationwide Series car, a Chevrolet sponsored by Great Clips and owned by Turner Motorsports, in a limited schedule. He competed in 18 of the series' races, with Kasey Kahne driving the car during the remainder of the year. Sweet competed for the Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year award.

World of Outlaws

Sweet became a full-time driver of the NAPA Auto Parts/Ollie's Bargain Outlet number 49 for Kasey Kahne Racing for the 2014 season. He collected his first World of Outlaws win in 2012 at the Clay County Speedway. In 2013, he won the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway, one of the biggest races of the year for his only win that season. He ended 2013 ranked 18th in points. Sweet started the 2014 season by winning the season opener at Volusia Speedway for his third career World of Outlaws win.
