SARVER, Pa. — High Limit Racing champion Brad Sweet will also use a Medical Provisional and miss Tuesday night’s race for the series at Lernerville Speedway.
The driver of the Kasey Kahne Racing No. 49 took a brutal hit to the cockpit during Saturday’s Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway. He was evaluated at a nearby hospital and discharged that night. However, Sweet is taking time off to recover from a concussion.
The KKR team will use a Medial Provisional, as will Aaron Reutzel’s Ridge & Sons Racing, on Tuesday night.
According to the High Limit Racing rulebook, “Medical provisionals will be granted to a driver that has an accident with injuries needing some extra days to heal. These provisionals will be granted in a 10-day period and that driver and/or car will receive points for their average finishing position plus five spots.
“The driver must have gone to a reputable doctor in the 10-day period approved by High Limit officials. If the owner would like to race with a different driver during this time, they can, but will not receive the guaranteed points. The owner will receive points for their finishing position on that night.
“After 10 days, the driver may be granted one extension if needed and approved by High Limit officials. The first two weeks will not be eligible for Medical Provisionals in 2025. After those weekends, an average finishing position can be calculated. The two weekends will apply to new teams in following years. Returning cars will receive their average finish from the year prior if needed in the first two weekends.”
By rule, the Medical Provisional will grant the two teams the following points: Kasey Kahne Racing No. 49 will receive 51-points due to a rounded 6.3 average finish plus five positions. Ridge & Sons Racing No. 87 will receive 49-points due to a rounded 6.8 average finish plus five positions.
