Brad Sweet and Kevin Rudeen have acquired Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC), the West Coast sprint car series and sanctioning body formerly owned and operated by Jim Allen and Brent Kaeding.

The transaction will be effective for the 2026 season.

"Brent and I have been exploring potential succession plans for NARC over the past few years," said Allen. "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."

Kaeding and Kaeding Performance Center will continue their involvement with NARC as the official parts vendor and as a heat race sponsor. Jim Allen will transition into a NARC historian role, focusing on accumulating missing information from the organization's early years.

"Kevin and I are both really excited to continue our pursuit of helping and growing 410 sprint car racing on the West Coast," said Sweet, a six-time national sprint car champion. "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."

Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
