LARSON, SWEET INTRODUCE HIGH LIMIT SPRINT CAR SERIES

KYLE LARSON, the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion, has partnered with three-time defending World of Outlaws Series Champion Brad Sweet to launch a new sprint car series in 2023. The High Limit Sprint Car Series will feature a 12-race schedule with mid-week races paying as high as $50,000-to-win.

High Limit will feature Larson and other top 410 sprint car drivers from around the world battling for industryleading purses. Of the 12 events, two marquee events are planned to feature a $50,000-to-win and $140,000 total purse. The other ten events will pay

$23,000-to-win and $80,000 in total purse. Plus, the series offers an end of the year points fund totaling $120,000.

“Our mission is to help sprint car racing become bigger and better,” said Larson. “The High Limit Sprint Car Series will not only create more opportunities for sprint car drivers to race mid-week shows for big money, but also give dirt track fans more great racing to attend. They can watch live or on-demand too, thanks to FloRacing. I’m very excited to get it started.”

FloRacing, a premiere live streaming platform for motorsports, will provide live streaming coverage of the High

Limit Sprint Car Series, which will compete at dirt track venues across the United States on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday nights. FloRacing is part of FloSports, a leading sports streaming and original content platform featuring over 25 vertical sports categories.

While dates and venues for the inaugural 2023 season will be announced at a later date, a special kick-off event – the High Limit Open – took place on Tuesday, August 16 at Lincoln Park Speedway in Indiana. Buddy Kofoid bested a field of 35 entries to take the inaugural event.

TYLER REDDICK has been a hot name on the NASCAR circuit this summer after scoring wins on two of America’s most famous road courses this year. Reddick bested the Cup Series at Road America in Wisconsin and then a few weeks later scored a huge win on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The wins were the first two of his career and has shown him to be quite adept at turning left and right on the pavement. He’s also, however, quite adept at turning left on dirt as evidenced by some photos dug out by Douglas Lane from a fun night at Hagerstown when a 14-year-old kid named Tyler Reddick showed up to race against the World of Outlaws.
