Larson & Sweet Previously Announced Another Big Partnership
This new racing series is the latest project for both Larson and Sweet. They also joined forces in 2021 to become promoters of Silver Dollar Speedway, a quarter-mile track located in Chico, Calif.
The duo announced the news in November 2021, weeks after Larson won at Phoenix Raceway and captured the first Cup Series championship of his career. They issued a joint press release with the track and confirmed that they would focus on making improvements to the fan and driver experience while “sprucing up” the facility. They also said that Colby Copeland would be part of the new partnership while serving as the liaison between promoters, drivers, and fans.
“Our goal is to continue to provide entertaining, exciting auto racing and introduce new ideas to enhance the fan and driver experiences,” Sweet said at the time while confirming that he would oversee the day-to-day operations.
“I‘ve always loved Silver Dollar Speedway. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the Gold Cup (Race of Champions). I‘ve learned a lot about the racing business the last eight years on the Outlaw tour and I have promoted some races along the way.”
