Bailey Sweeny Joins BRT's 2025 Super2 Assault

7 Feb, 2025

Blanchard Racing Team (BRT) proudly announces the signing of Bailey Sweeny to its Dunlop Super2 program for the 2025 season. 

Sweeny is quickly establishing himself as one of Australia's most promising racing talents, with a successful background in go-karting where he won multiple state championships and national races from 2017 to 2020. Transitioning to circuit racing, Sweeny excelled in the Toyota 86 Series in 2021 and made a significant impact in the 2022 TCR Australia Championship, earning two wins and the Rookie of the Year award. In 2023, he secured five wins in TCR Australia, leading the championship until mechanical issues during the final round relegated him to third place in the final standings. 

Sweeny's ambitions are set on the Supercars Championship, reflected by his debut in Super3 at the Bathurst 1000 last year. Having recently celebrated his 22nd birthday, Sweeny will take the wheel of the same chassis that Jack Perkins carried to impressive victories at Townsville and Sandown last season.

"Bailey represents exactly the kind of young talent we strive to support here at BRT,” said Tim Blanchard, Team Principal.

“His track record speaks volumes, and his ambition aligns perfectly with BRT’s focus of growth and development." 

BRT’s commitment to nurturing talent is highlighted with Sweeny’s addition, demonstrating its committed effort in building a strong pipeline that offers a clear path for racing talent up to the main Supercars series. 

"Bailey joining our team represents more than just expanding our driver line-up, it's a reflection of our dedication to advancing careers and ensuring our crew has ample chances to succeed and climb the ranks in motorsport while we participate as a full-time contender in the Super2 series," explains Kate Harrington, Team Manager.

With the support and resources of the entire BRT squad, Sweeny is set to make the next step in his racing career.

“I’m thrilled to join BRT to contest the Super2 Series full-time in 2025,” said Sweeny.

“This is a monumental step in my career, one that brings me closer to my dream of competing in Supercars as a main game driver,”

“Thanks to Tim (Blanchard), Kate (Harrington) and the entire team for their faith in providing me with such a massive opportunity,”

“I look forward to hitting the ground running at Sydney and showing what I can do behind the wheel of a Supercar,”

Sweeny will make his debut in the six-round Super2 season at the season-opening Sydney 500 on February 21-23.
