Perhaps the biggest news in the world of sprint car racing today is that Kyle Larson's High Limit Racing will likely make a trip to the Perth Motorplex in Australia between December 28 and 30. To stir things up even more, the 2021 Cup Series champion has confirmed that he will take part in the gala event as well.
The winner of the grand finale will take home the cash prize of $100,000, which is by far the biggest purse in the history of Australian Sprint Car racing. The event will air live exclusively on FloRacing.
Speaking of his entry in an interview with FloRacing, Kyle Larson said:
"The track looks amazing. Probably the best track I would say in Australia. I've heard the facility is amazing. I've heard the area of Perth is fun, and a lot of things to do. It'll be a quick trip for me because I'll only be down there for those races. I'm excited to get racing there."
"I've been to Australia a few different times but never to the western side of Australia. I've never really had much success in Australia either so hopefully this trip's a little different," he added.
According to a report by YARDBARKER, Kyle Larson will be racing alongside several skilled sprint car racers like Callum Williamson, Dayne Kingshott, and Jason Kendrick.
Last Wednesday, Larson competed in the Double Down Duels at Eldora Speedway. Kyle Larson, better known as "Yung Money" in the world of sprint car racing, wheeled the No. 57 machine for Silva Motorsports to a P2 finish. He was just 1.408 seconds behind Giovanni Scelzi, who emerged as the winner.
Kyle Larson on High Limit Racing's International expansion
Since its inception, Kyle Larson has been striving to expand the reach of the High Limit Sprint Car Series. This year, the series has been slated to host more than 50-night events with payouts exceeding $5 million.
"I think that the Australian fanbase should be very excited about it," Larson said of the upcoming event in Australia. "I think it's just the beginning for us. We'd like to grow it even more outside of where we are in the United States."
Taking the sport around the globe and involving more people in it, Larson explained, will be a great way to grow it. Furthermore, he opined that their partnership with FloSports will draw more attention towards High Limit Racing.
"Not only are we going to continue to run tight, highly entertaining races for the fans, but we’re going to do it while raising purses and making the sport more financially viable for drivers and teams. On top of that, the partnership with FloSports will bring more eyeballs to our events and grow the sport overall," Larson concluded.
Kyle Larson founded High Limit Racing alongside his brother-in-law and five-time World of Outlaws champion, Brad Sweet, in 2021. According to Forbes, the series has recently acquired the All-Star Race of Champions from multi-time Cup Series champion Tony Stewart.
