Kenny Sweet Racing

---

Race cars are a family affair for one Don Hattan team member. Kenny Sweet joined Don Hattan in the Commercial Sales department in 2002 after moving to Wichita 11 years prior to pursue his dream of racing.

His love of cars and racing shows in all he does, and he works full time now as the Commercial and Fleet Sales Manager, he also spends many nights and weekends working on his race car. He learned alongside his father Ken Sweet.

Many of Kenny’s fondest memories are when his dad was in the race car beside him. Kenny is a lot of fun to work with and his racing stories keep us all entertained.

Don Hattan now proudly sponsors Kenny and number 87, go Kenny!
