The Northern Auto Racing Club announced Monday that Kevin Rudeen and Brad Sweet will take over ownership of the West Coast's premier 410 Sprint Car series at the start of the 2026 season.

National Sprint Car Hall of Fame driver Brent Kaeding and Jim Allen have owned and promoted NARC since 2017.

“Brent and I have been exploring potential succession plans for NARC over the past few years,” Allen said in a press release issued by the sanctioning body Monday. “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.”

NARC calls its acquisition by Rudeen and Sweet "a strategic move to ensure the continued legacy" of the West Coast sanctioning body founded by Louie Vermeil in 1960.

Rudeen and Sweet have both increased their involvement in the sport over recent years with Rudeen taking over ownership of Washington's Skagit Speedway in 2022 and Sweet taking promotorship reins of California's Silver Dollar Speedway — home of the Gold Cup — before creating Kubota High Limit Racing in '23.

Rudeen also fields Justin Peck's No. 26 entry on the High Limit tour while Sweet's trying to capture his second straight Hight Limit this season.

“Kevin and I are both really excited to continue our pursuit of helping and growing 410 Sprint Car racing on the West Coast,” Sweet said. “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.”

Through his business, Kaeding Performance Center, Kaeding will stay involved with NARC as the official parts vendor of the tour. Allen, meanwhile, is set to move into a historian role, "focusing on accumulating missing information from the organization’s early years."
