Brad Sweet tweeted, “Who’s getting excited for the @HighLimitRacing 2023 schedule? @KyleLarsonRacin and I our getting excited to announce the schedule and maybe a few other surprises.”
Soon, Hendrick Motorsports driver, Kyle Larson, responded with a smiley face. This new racing series will see the light of day in 2023. The competition will be cutthroat featuring the top 410 sprint cars. The upcoming schedule will feature 12 tracks in total.
Meanwhile, in terms of payouts, the mid-week races will see up to $ 50,000 to win. Out of the schedules planned 12 races, they would classify two of them as marquee events. Those events would fetch up to $140,000 in purse value. Moreover, the remaining 10 races would fetch a purse value of around $80,000 each.
In their press release, Larson mentioned, “Our mission is to help sprint car racing become bigger and better.” He also stated, “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.”

I know it’s a dream but it would be so sick if @jacksonmotorplx was on the schedule. The week in between The Knoxville Nationals and the The Jackson Nationals would make sense logistically.

Seeing that Kyle is now an Arizona resident, and you Brad are just a stone's throw away, can you all look into building the most badass track ever near the metropolitan Phoenix area to replace Manzy & Arizona Speedway? Weather here is perfect during the offseason .

@BradSweet49 and @KyleLarsonRacin are the greatest drivers in the sprint car community. All these things they are doing was something anyone of you could have done. But no they did it that’s why they are the greatest.
