Well, at the very least, he’s one of the greatest World Of Outlaws drivers in recent history. Winning those three championships for Kasey Kahne’s team proves it.
And gonna win this year!!! The Big Cat is a World of Outlaws legend
And here we are he has 4 and is driving to his 5th title this year
Brad spun a lot in Nationwide. That's how I remember his NASCAR career to a tee.
Happy his WoO career is exponentially better.
Didn’t hit a lot of shit tho
Seemed to have good car control while spinning though
@@NASCAR_Junk Easy to do when you spin a sprint car almost 90 degrees sideways.
As someone who actually knows Brad as a person (family friend) he definitely feels especially now that he just wasn’t ready for it but doesn’t regret the opportunity at all, he prefers dirt anyway.
Wonder how he would do in a stock car at Bristol Dirt...
@@Dat-Mudkip that's what I'm thinking
@@hdfreekicker2341 omg that would be cool , add Scott bloomquest, red farmer, the kinsers
Worked out for the best. Can't wait for him to come back to Australia
The only better thing about nascar is the paycheck.
Brad Sweet may have been sponsored by Great Clips…
…but as you see on track, those _clips_ were not that _great…_
For as much as he struggled and spun he didn’t tear up that many cars. I’m impressed all those spins that he didn’t hit anything.
I didn't remember him being that bad, then I saw all the replays and I was like, Oh Yeah...
Of course a couple of those involved another bust in a bright green car.
Brad Sweet's brother-in-law is Kyle Larson. So there's 2 Champions in that family.
He is in the same realm with Steve Kinser, Bryan Clauson, and Sammy Swindell. In that, he's an absolute beast in a dirt car, but didn't do well in NASCAR.
I do wonder how he would do at the dirt Bristol
@@alexsweet6957 he did rather well last year.
@@frankisfunny2007 I mean in a cup car or truck
Steve got screwed by the straight liner!
And none of them had pavement racing in their hearts..
This was a driver I solely focused on in the early 2010s, especially after the move to Jr Motorsports. It was tough seeing yet another dirt legend struggle in the ranks of NASCAR.
I'm glad though he has found major success in the world of sprint car racing. 🙌
He struggled because he got no seat time. 3 different teams 3 seasons 2010 he ran one race, 2011 he ran 17 races, 2012 didn’t have a ride 2013 he ran 18 races. Ain’t nobody ever been a superhero and kicked ass with that short amount of time.
Interesting installment of NASCAR Busts!
Brad Sweet's situation reminds me of Steve Kinser's time in NASCAR... Both drivers are good in WoO, but abysmal in NASCAR.
But Brad had more starts in NASCAR than Steve.
Sammy swindell too
Steve Kinser is a legend in my home town , Bloomington Indiana, went to school with his son Kurt. Didn’t know he was that big of a name nationally until I left home.
Those guys started in nascar too late with no experience, or very little on pavement.
@@mikaelhaggard8031 Fair enough.
Transitioning from dirt to pavement isn't easy, and the handling dynamics of a sprint car and a NASCAR spec stock car are completely different.
after watching all of those spins, I've come out more impressed than I went in. In the very few instances they were actually his fault, he hardly ever hit the wall hard enough to take him out of contention.
"Brad didnt do anything wrong, except get caught up in it". Well that pretty much sums up his whole nascar excursion lol
he was racing danica
Except he didn’t do much racing only 36 races with 3 teams in 3 seasons.
Dirt to asphalt is a huge transition, I don't feel he was rushed, but he had the sponsor. He made some amazing saves in those clips and half of those weren't his fault. You also didn't mention that he is Kyle Larson's brother-in-law.
It's amazing that he never really tore up equipment just a average driver with a few to many spins
I met Brad sweet a few years ago he was nice just wish he had better luck
i keep trying to meet him at a woo event but cant find him, met kyle larson tho
For what it's worth, he did a damn impressive job controlling the car during a slide and keeping it off the wall. Goes to show why he was much more successful in sprint cars where sliding is the name of the game.
Thats the problem, dirt drivers have habits that don't translate well to pavement
7:34 you hear the spotter getting frustrated they know he has a fast car and he doesn’t have a great strategy.
I love these NASCAR Busts videos
Can't wait to check it out!
He's damn good at spinning out and not hitting anything.
hes good at being sideways, he has 3 world of outlaw champs
@@geo-lite69 never thought I would see you here lol
One of the very few "busts" in NASCAR that thrived despite not making it and going back to what he was best at
in other words, Brad Sweet was a modern day Steve Kinser, except he ran a lot better in NASCAR than Kinser ever did.
I am a huge fan of Brad sweet in the world of outlaws series. I wish he did better in nascar, I think if tried nascar later in life, it would of made a major difference.Thanks for making another great video👍👍
Another case of a driver who was rushed like Steve Wallace... He didn't made at least a full arca season
By the way... Nascar Busts: Justin Labonte, Mike Dillon and Ray Black Jr.
Ray Black Jr? A bust? Expectations were never too high for him.
He was like the antecessor of Joe Graf Jr.
Ray only had a ride because he had a good sponsor
Nascar bust: Joey Coulter
Absolutely no... Coulter did good when he ran for RCR winning a race and fight for a Championship in 2012
@@iagofreitas910 or nascar bust cody coughlin
Guy could keep a car away from the wall that’s for sure
Fun fact: Sweet and Matt DiBenedetto are both from my hometown of Grass Valley, CA, and just 2 miles up the road is Alexander Rossi's hometown of Nevada City, CA.
Hi BFM, I have a recomendation for you: The most unlucky championship hangover: Johnny Benson, he won the Craftman Truck Series Champion in 2008 but in 2009 almost lost his life in ISMA supermodified accident at Berlin Raceway. After that he only run 5 races in 2010 and retire, I considered the accident as a career-ending crash
Every incident: "That could've been worse"
Why are these videos so well done
I've been waiting this video for a very long time!
Another great video! I always enjoy watching your channel and the "Busts" series is always interesting to watch.
Dude's a beast behind the wheel of a Sprint car it's a shame it didn't work for him in NASCAR
I didn't know that Brad Sweet raced in NASCAR until now. By this time I wasn't really watching Nationwide or Truck series races, I was watching more Cup series races and World Of Outlaw races too.
Future NASCAR bust video idea: Brandon McReynolds
He went to my elementary school years before I did. My grandma got his autograph on a napkin and still has it lying around somewhere. She’s also been quoted as saying to him “Your gonna be in NASCAR someday.”
One last thing. The Big Cat is Ernie Ladd.
So I’ll say this having raced sprint cars most of my life and going to a late model two years ago. Making the adjustment from an open wheel car to a full fender heavier car is a very tough adjustment. It does take a lot of time and not a lot of guys are successful when doing it. I’ve also learned over the years as the xfinity and truck series has evolved into more a of a pay to play rent a ride type series vs a feeder/learning series a lot of teams no longer take the time and energy into developing new talent guys with promising talent are replaced fairly quickly for a less talented driver with the funds or sponsorship to rent the ride and both series have suffered with driver talent as a whole
Cup series bust suggestions
-Jeff Green
-Larry Foyt
-Justin Labonte
-Johnny Sauter
-Casey Mears
-Reed Sorenson
-David Stremme
My man kept getting taken out by Danica. Great driver but just couldn't live up to his potential
You should do a bust video that is the exact opposite of this video. World of Outlaws Bust: Jeff Gordon. I’m not sure what information you could get for it.
or Cart Bust: Failing to get Jeff Gordon.
Nice transition there by Allen Bestwick. I wish he was still doing NASCAR play by play.
As a World of outlaw fan and dirt vision subscriber it is really weird to see him in a stock car.
He is legitimately one of the best sprinkler drivers ever live.
This is Mikey Flags Matter, catch ya next time!
As bad qs Sweet And Kinser did when trying to convert from WoO sprint cars to Nascar Stockcar racing I wonder what it would look like if a Nascar top driver who'd never driven or raced a sprint car setup, be given the wheel and turned loose on dirt with q pair of wings wrapped around them. They might look just as awful and out of their element.
1:55 and 2:55, 2 NASCAR Busts drivers meeting each other
Next should be Colin Braun in NASCAR. He’s a hell of an endurance racing driver, but he didn’t pan out in stock vehicles.
Nascar busts: Cale Gale
Hopefully you’ll do “Not a Bust” on Brian Scott’s Lower Series career soon.
Considering there has been a few drivers that will spin AND contact stuff... I'd say he is more unlucky than just a plain bad driver.
Here's a situation where being a bust was the best thing that could have happened. Kasey obviously saw something he liked in Brad when they split the 38 and later the 5, because he's been driving for Kasey in World of Outlaws since he left NASCAR.
Did I mention he's won the last 3 straight championships? And oh yeah, you might have heard of his brother-in-law- some guy named Kyle Larson.
They’re related? I didn’t know that.
Sweet was just betrayed by Smoke and Ryder, of course he was gonna perform as he did
That guy in the green #7 in all these clips might also be called a bust
Do Brian Ickler. Always liked Brian Ickler. I wouldn't say he's a bust but he was forgotten about
All that slideways experience on dirt actually served Brad very well in the Nascar world, in that I never saw a driver spin a car that many time's with less damage done than he! 😳!!
Too much, too early in his driving career, I feel like had he started a couple year's older, he would have been more seasoned mentally, & had much more success 🤷🏻♂️
If those spins show me anything tho its that his car control was 100 lol. Guy had potential, just didn't go his way.
Miracle Danica never killed herself or someone else in one of her crashes.
If anyone has a right to hate Danica Patrick it’s this guy he was screwed by her many times clearly
Wreck magnets: Danica Patrick
I thought for sure there would be one comment on here saying: "I remember him for his sister."
He has a pretty Sweet name.
Oh no, I was rooting for Brad at Haubstadt this weekend
3/4 of the clips are another car hitting him inyo a spin or just right into the wall. Maybe a "bust" but the majority of his DNFs involved another car and contact he didn't initiate.
NASCAR Busts: Bobby Hamilton Jr
In Cup Series yes... But he was a good Xfinity Series driver
Thanks For Uploading ☺😎 By The Way Today Is Alex Bowman Birthday
I would love to see a David Stremme busts video maybe with some actual interviews and doing some digging around and connecting with some people, because I don't think many people know how successful he was in late models.
Hometown outlaw hero LETS GO BIG CAT (on dirt)
Even when shes by another busty bust, its STILL DANICA THAT CAUSES THE ACCIDENT 😂😂😂

I believe that like a young college hotshot QB a young driver should work his way up, only a rare few can go up the ladder quickly imho !!!
Reminds me of Pastrana. Some guys are meant to drive slideways!
We need a nascar busts Blake Koch
Well, you cant really blame Brad Sweet for two of those spins because he was driving next to Danica.
Similar to Steve Kinser who had an incredible WoO career before and after NASCAR while he was a bust in NASCAR.
He should become a damn drifter dude was hammering the gas mid spin and missing the wall. And he’s doing it repeatedly so it’s definitely skill lol.
He does have a strong name in my opinion
You know what though, he is the king of keeping the car off that wall!
I knew I'd see this one at some point
Now look at how his brother in law is going in the hendrick 5 car 🤷🏻♂️
I have absolutely zero memory of him driving for Jr Motorsports.
I'm not gonna lie he jsut seemed like the kind of guy that always ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time
He really never hits the wall....
Nice Nirvana background music
At least Brad Sweet was better at NASCAR than Steve Kinser
Steve had Brett Bodines crap ride too though.
A nascar bust yes, Top 3 Dirt driver in the world? Absolutely. Talent is there I would love to see him have another shot in nascar
Quick Question would you consider COLIN BRAUN and Bust or Not a Bust!?
Tbh he does remind me of Steve Kinser's NASCAR run
You can tell he had talent just based on the way he was able to save so many of his cars post-spin, unfortunately he didn't have enough talent not to spin in the first place lol
isnt he also larsons brother in law
Yea, Kyle married brads sister
Happy Birthday Alex Bowman!
I wonder how would he do if he entered in either Trucks or Cup on Bristol dirt. Eldora or Knoxville in Trucks. If he had a good ride.
You should do a nascar busts video about Rick Crawford
Honestly, even though he is a bust, I admire his ability for most of the time when he spun, he was able to keep it off the wall or other cars.
Ah yes, Kyle Larsons brother in law
Didn't they make a diecast for this driver back in like 2013 or 2014?
Yeah, 2013
His normal one and his pink great clips. I know he has at least two nationwide cars, not sure if they did the truck
I honestly completely forgot bout this guy
Not gunna sound like a compliment but it is: He was really good at spinning out and not wrecking it
Sister Katelyn married Kyle Larson and Brad has a nephew Owen and a niece Audrey.
If he could've learned the necessary throttle control on worn tires most of these could've been avoided because as the amazing saves shown here prove, he can wheel a car
The man may have spun alot but he never really ever tore the equipment up he always mostly saved it and minimal damage to the car
Honestly I think if he developed a little bit more and maybe tightened it up a little he could have been good
Please, anyone Nascar, Indy, anyone, take him away from the WOO. I am sick of seeing him win all the time.
