MESQUITE, Texas — Four-time and reigning World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series champion Brad Sweet earned his second consecutive series victory Friday on night one of the Federated Auto Parts Texas Outlaw Nationals at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Sweet took the lead from Brent Marks on lap 10 and never looked back. As the early laps unfolded, Sweet made it clear he would have something for the Murray-Marks No. Finally, a slight slip from Marks exiting turn two on lap 10 gave Sweet the run he needed. Behind Sweet, Marks, held on to the runner-up spot after leading the first nine laps, marking his first series podium of the year and the 28th of his career. “The 49 was really good, and I just couldn’t get through lapped traffic,” Marks said. Brad ran a good race, got through lapped cars and off he went.
