Career

[edit]

Sweeny began karting in 2017, competing until 2021.[1][2] In his time in karts, Sweeny most notably won the 2020 New South Wales and ACT state titles in the Senior Performance Light class.[3] The same year, Sweeny also made his car racing debut in the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia 86 Series as a member of the Erebus Academy.[4] Remaining in the series the following two years,[5] Sweeny scored three podiums in the series as he scored a best reason finish of fifth in 2022.[6]

In 2022, Sweeny also made his debut in TCR competition, joining HMO Customer Racing to race in TCR Australia.[7] In his first season in the series, Sweeny scored his maiden series in race two of the first Bathurst round,[8] before taking his second win at the same venue in November to end the year fifth in points,[9] as the rookie of the year.[10] The following year, Sweeny remained with HMO Customer Racing for his sophomore season in TCR Australia.[11] Starting off the season with two wins at Symmons Plains,[12][13] before winning race three at Winton,[14] as well as races two and three at Sandown en route to a third-place points finish.[15][16]

Having spent most of 2024 on the sidelines, Sweeny made a one-off appearance in the Winton round of the RX-8 Cup Australia for Maisie Place Motorsport,[17] in which he finished second in races three and four.[18][19] Following that, Sweeny joined Image Racing to compete in the second Bathurst round of the Super3 Series.[20] In his only round of the season, Sweeny finished second in race two and third in race two.[21][22] Remaining under the Supercars Championship support bill for the following year, Sweeny joined Blanchard Racing Team as he stepped up to the Super2 Series following Super3's demise.[23] In his rookie year in the series, Sweeny scored a best result of third in race one at Queensland Raceway, as well as two other top-ten results en route to a 13th-place points finish.[24][25]

Sweeny returned to Blanchard Racing Team and the Super2 Series for 2026.[26]
