Kyle Larson Doubles Down on High Limit Racing’s Refreshed Roster, Claims “No Format Will Ever Please Everyone”

High Limit Racing has undergone large-scale changes in 2024. Following the competition’s announcement to take the chartered system approach to attract more teams to its racing brand, High Limit has seen an influx of full-time teams. Expressing his happiness on X about the opening nights of the competition at East Bay Raceway Park, owner Kyle Larson claimed that it is hard to please everyone with the changes as he and Brad Sweet look to expand the series by 2025.

And one of these expansions includes the charter system where the top five teams of the 2024 High Limit Racing season will occupy chartered spots in 2025. With ten spots up for grabs, the remaining five teams will be decided based on the final standings of the 2025 season. Larson opened the 2024 season with a win on Tuesday and got to experience the quality of competition he aims to provide. Satisfied with the racing, Kyle Larson seemed confident of challenging the monopoly of the World of Outlaws, as was evident in his tweet.

Kyle Larson claims good racing is the key to good rewards

Larson kicked off his High Limit adventures for 2024 in style. With rain delaying Monday’s inaugural race, the Tuesday night saw two races being held at the East Bay Raceway Park. Following a win in the first feature race, the Hendrick Motorsports driver confidently headed to the second. However, he limped to a P26 finish in a turnaround of the situation. Sharing his takeaways from the opening night on Twitter, Kyle Larson said,

“I absolutely love the roster of drivers even more than I originally thought! Young aggressive guys gonna challenge @bradsweetracing to adjust his driving style slightly from what he’s been racing against on a nightly basis for the last decade”

According to Kyle Larson, five-time WoO winner and partner Brad Sweet is one of the obvious favorites in the competition. Having dominated High Limit’s rival tourney before switching, Sweet is the most experienced dirt track racer on the grid. While Rico Abreu is among the many talented sprint car drivers to have tasted success recently, Larson has prioritized the growth of young guns.

Larson’s second takeaway was on a serious note as he emphasized the importance of performing well to demand better rewards. Kyle Larson wants the charter system to reward drivers based on merit. Hence, solid performance guarantees solid compensation. Reiterating this, Larson added, “No format will ever please EVERYONE. Race good and get rewarded.”

Larson’s feedback was quite descriptive. Considering he is one of the co-owners of the competition and a driver in it, he aims to bridge the communication gap between the drivers and the sanctioning body by himself. Showing his capability as a series owner and organizer, Kyle Larson gave Chase Raudmann and Tony LaPorta their due credits for their work on Tuesday.

Continuing to describe his thoughts about the 2024 High Limit Racing season opener, Kyle Larson congratulated the announcer and pit reporter duo of Raudman and LaPorta. While Raudman tweeted that he could have done better in the final laps of the feature race, Larson consoled him and reaffirmed his faith in him on Twitter. Kyle Larson wrote,

“@Chase_Raudman2 and @tlp_voice make a great combo and feed off each other well and will only get better.”

That was not all from Larson. Having shown his emotions as a winner in the victory lane countless times, Kyle Larson understands the need for drivers to be themselves. Asking the drivers to join in on the fun and showcase a more interactive personality to their fans, Larson said, “The drivers music playlist is a fun way to see our personalities, and I’m excited to add some fun stuff to mine.”

Being drivers in the High Limit series himself, Larson and Sweet hold an advantage of being able to observe the consequences of their decisions up close. Larson’s feedback is a fine example of this. Only when the authorities resonate with the team owners and drivers to create a hospitable atmosphere, a racing series can truly succeed to entertain.
