The Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) announced earlier this week that Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen have purchased the West Coast sprint car series.

In a press release the series noted that the purchase will be effective beginning with the 2026 season. The series current owner Jim Allen commented on the sale, “Brent [Kaeding] and I have been exploring potential succession plans for NARC over the past few years. Our primary criterion was to find a party deeply invested in our sport and committed to building on the club’s history. We are confident that we have made the right decision with Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen. Their extensive experience and support of 410 sprint car racing are highly regarded.”

For his part, Sweet said, “Kevin and I are both really excited to continue our pursuit of helping and growing 410 sprint car racing on the West Coast. There is no better way to accomplish this than to build on the foundation of what Jim Allen, Brent Kaeding and many others, have built over many years. NARC has been a staple on the West Coast for many years, and we hope to continue to create many more successful seasons for the race fans, teams, promoters and racers.”

Allen will remain with the series after the sale, but he will transition into a historian role. His current co-owner Brent Kaeding, who also runs Kaeding Performance Center, will remain with the series and his company will continue to be the official parts vendor as well as a heat race sponsor.
