Kasey Kahne Racing revealed a pair of organizational changes to its Kubota High Limit Racing teams Saturday night, effective immediately, as first reported by Jeremy Elliott of sprintcarunlimited.com.

Six-time reigning national Sprint Car champion Brad Sweet will inherit the race-day crew of Kahne's No. 9 team the rest of the 2025 season while Kahne is planning to park his No. 9 race team for foreseeable future, saying he's devoting more focus toward being a team owner rather than a driver.

Beginning with Sunday's Capitani Classic at Knoxville Raceway, Andrew Bowman takes over as crew chief of Sweet's No. 49 team, with Tayte Williamson and Kyler Kerkvliet rounding out the three-man race-day crew. Kahne emphasized that Sweet's now-former race-day crew are still with the KKR organization.

Tye Wolfgang, who started 2025 as Sweet's crew chief, has left the team to pursue other opportunities.

"Grateful for past opportunities, looking forward to what may be next," Wolfgang said Saturday in a post on X. “I’m actively seeking any and all opportunities to continue my career in the winged sprint car scene."

The organizational shakeup comes a night after Sweet was penalized for failing to meet minimum weight after Friday's Knoxville Raceway's 360 Nationals qualifying night. Sweet's had a successful season by most drivers' standards so far this year, racking up four wins and 31 top-10s in 41 features.

His 9.8 percent win rate, however, is his second-lowest since 2018. Last year Sweet won 11 of 69 races (15.9 percent) and 13 of 79 races in 2023 (16.5 percent), but experienced similarly prolonged stretches between wins in '22 when he won five of 72 events (6.9 win percentage).

Sweet enjoyed seven ultra-successful seasons with Eric Prutzman as crew chief from 2018-24, accruing 84 wins between the World of Outlaws and High Limit, the 2018 Knoxville Nationals title, a 2019 Kings Royal crown, and six straight national titles. Prutzman started the season as Kahne's crew chief, but left the team on March 12 to pursue other opportunities.

Kahne, meanwhile, plans on abandoning his ninth-place points standing on the High Limit tour. Although he's still searching for his first nationally touring Sprint Car win, the 45-year-old Kahne has two runner-ups on the High Limit tour this year, both in an eight-day span March 21 at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway and March 29 at Central Arizona Raceway.
