Vasquez-Imagn Images The High Limit Racing Series is quickly growing in popularity, and the season opener for its third season took place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend.
Series co-owner Kyle Larson, who is also preparing for his Cup Series race at the same track, addressed the idea of the series competing directly with NASCAR as a whole. Larson, who won the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday, expressed how proud he was about High Limit Racing’s growth. “Just two full seasons and now heading to our third is pretty spectacular,” he said.
“It was a huge undertaking, and just proud of everybody at High Limit. ” While the High Limit Racing Series does not directly compete with NASCAR, it does indirectly compete in several ways, particularly when it comes to drivers, scheduling, and fan attention. Larson’s goal has been to modernize the sport while also ensuring drivers are paid significantly better than what rival series have traditionally offered.
In that sense, the Hendrick Motorsports driver believes the series is already making progress. He hopes to build on that momentum this year and continue expanding its reach. Larson continued, “I look forward to another year and continue to grow.
Its good to reflect on what we have done currently. I think its easy to be like, ‘Things aren’t moving fast enough’. But I don’t know.
