Jacob Allen Joins High Limit Racing Full-Time in 2024
Pennsylvania Fan Favorite Becomes a High Roller with famed Shark Racing #1A
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (November 30, 2023) - There will be plenty of
noteworthy news around the 2024 High Limit Racing campaign coming over the
next few weeks, and the first little tidbit dropped today courtesy of Jacob
Allen.
Driving the familiar and iconic Shark Racing #1A, the son of National
Sprint Car Hall of Famer Bobby Allen will become a High Roller next year,
chasing the season-long championship and Midweek Money Series title. Allen
and Shark Racing join Brad Sweet and Kasey Kahne Racing as the first two
publicly confirmed full-timers with more names coming soon.
A 29-year-old native of Hanover, PA, Allen will have several chances to
race in his home state of Pennsylvania next year. It has already been
announced that High Limit Racing will sanction a pair of marquee events at
Port Royal Speedway including the Bob Weikert Memorial on Saturday-Sunday,
May 25-26 and the Tuscarora 50 on Thursday-Saturday, September 5-7.
Next year, Allen will also get his first chance at defending his
thrilling 2022 Gold Cup Race of Champions title as the Silver Dollar
Speedway staple joins the High Limit Racing schedule as one of several crown
jewel events. It will mark Allen’s first appearance at the Chico, CA
bullring since he edged Shark Racing teammate Logan Schuchart in a photo
finish.
Allen will begin the 2024 High Limit Racing campaign at East Bay Raceway
Park in Tampa, FL and wrap everything up at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort
Worth, TX with 50+ races in between. A $1 million championship fund has been
established with an additional $100,000 points fund for the Midweek Money
Series.
For fans unable to attend the track, you will be able to stream every
High Limit Racing event live on FloRacing.
High Limit Racing Expands Race Schedule, Increases Driver Payouts, and Broadens FloSports Partnership in 2024
Sprint Car Series Owned by Brad Sweet and Kyle Larson Will Grow to More Than 50 Race Nights Nationally and Pay Out Over $5 Million in Prize Money. FloSports to Take Minority Stake in the Series and Stream Races on FloRacing with Hours of Additional Original Content and Social Programming Planned
Mooresville, N.C. (November 7, 2023) – High Limit Racing, founded and
owned by NASCAR champion Kyle Larson and five-time World of Outlaws champion
Brad Sweet, is expanding in 2024. The formerly named High Limit Sprint Car
Series is adding events and increasing driver payouts while broadening its
partnership with FloSports. The midweek race series will evolve into a
50-plus race night schedule across the country and increase driver payouts
to more than $5 million.
To support the series, High Limit Racing entered a multi-year media
agreement with FloSports, which has taken a minority equity stake in the new
venture and will continue to stream live race events while also producing
original content on FloRacing, its Motorsports vertical.
“Brad (Sweet) and I literally grew up in this sport and our passion for sprint car racing runs deep,” said Larson. “The 2023 High Limit season went well, but we saw room for growth and more opportunities that were out there to make this division of racing stronger. 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. I can’t think of a much better situation for all involved.”
The new season of the High Limit Racing will reward drivers with bigger payouts and unprecedented flexibility with no restrictions on the amount of non-High Limit races they can compete in. The series also will set dedicated “off-weekends” to allow teams to continue to participate in sprint car racing’s crown jewel events.
High Limit Racing will award a point fund of $1 million with the champion
team and driver winning $250,000. Similar to its 2023 season, High Limit
Racing will have a Midweek Money Series within the national tour awarding a
separate $100,000 total point fund.
Sweet will compete in every event and pursue his first High Limit Racing
championship with the Kasey Kahne Racing NAPA No. 49 team. Larson, crowned
the midweek series champion earlier this month, will continue to compete in
select events while also pursuing a NASCAR Cup Series championship and an
Indianapolis 500 victory in 2024.
“We’re working on a diverse and efficient schedule that will maximize the
travel time for our teams,” Sweet said. “With increased purses and the
availability for teams to also compete in the sport’s crown jewels that may
not be High Limit-sanctioned, High Limit drivers and teams have the highest
revenue opportunity in sprint car history, barring The Million in 2023.
We’re proud of that and see it as a launching pad for the future of sprint
car racing.
“The support of Kasey (Kahne), NAPA, and everyone at Kasey Kahne Racing
means a lot to me,” Sweet continued. “We’ve accomplished a lot together and
now we’ll go on a new adventure and try to add a High Limit championship to
our resume. They’re taking this jump with me and that shows how strong and
committed this team is.”
FloSports will support the partnership with original content developed
and distributed across FloRacing. The content mix will include both
short-form social programming and more in-depth spotlights on the drivers
and the key storylines developing throughout the season. Over the course of
an 11-race season, High Limit content generated more than 8.5 million views
this year with FloRacing motorsports coverage earning more than 142 million
views across all branded platforms.
“FloRacing is the go-to destination for motorsports fans delivering
premium event coverage and original content to viewers across the globe. The
expansion of High Limit Racing and our investment in it reinforces our
commitment to the growth of motorsports and delivering it authentically to
audiences everywhere,” said Mark Floreani, Co-Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of FloSports.

The High Limit Racing national tour will kick off 2024 at East Bay
Raceway Park in Tampa, Fla. in February and celebrate its inaugural season
championship at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway in October.
Former All Star Circuit of Champions events including, but not limited
to, the Bob Weikert Memorial and Tuscarora 50 events at Port Royal (Penn.)
Speedway, the Dean Knittel Memorial at Portsmouth (Ohio) Speedway, and the
annual Rayce Rudeen Foundation race will also be on the schedule in 2024.
The prestigious Eldora Speedway will host High Limit Racing twice with a
two-day midweek event in July and a return appearance in September for the
4-Crown Nationals. Eagle (Neb.) Raceway will return with the biggest Midweek
Money Series purse at the Eagle Nationals.
High Limit Racing will also have two events in conjunction with NASCAR,
one at Texas Motor Speedway in April, and another at Lakeside Speedway,
roughly eight miles from Kansas Speedway, in May.
The series will make its West Coast debut in 2024, with events including
the Gold Cup Race of Champions at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif.
and the Skagit Nationals at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash.
The full 2024 High Limit Racing season schedule and information on the “High Rollers” team roster is forthcoming. Official sponsors for High Limit Racing will also be announced at a later date.

High Limit Sprint Car Series Acquires All Star Circuit of Champions
Mooresville, N.C. (October 23, 2023) – The High Limit Sprint Car Series
has finalized the acquisition of the All Star Circuit of Champions. NASCAR
Cup Series champion Kyle Larson and four-time World of Outlaws Sprint Cars
champion Brad Sweet will take over ownership of the regional series owned by
three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and Eldora Speedway owner Tony
Stewart.
“Sprint Car racing is in a better place today because of the
contributions Tony has made, including his ownership of the All Stars” said
Larson, co-owner of the High Limit Sprint Car Series. “His commitment to
giving back to the sport has been an inspiration to me, personally. Brad and
I share his passion for making the business side of the sport better for
teams, drivers and sponsors, and we’re thankful for Tony’s trust in us to
carry on what he started.”
Stewart purchased the All Star Circuit of Champions in 2015, adding to
his long list of legendary contributions to motorsports. As just the fourth
different owner since the series’ creation in 1970, Stewart grew the All
Star Circuit of Champions by expanding its footprint in the country,
increasing purses for its teams, and raising the series visibility by
partnering with FloRacing in 2020.
“When I purchased the All Stars in 2015, my intention was to unite what
had become a divided class of regional 410 winged sprint car racing,” said
Stewart. “Over the last nine years, not only have we unified, but we also
pushed the boundaries on our geographic footprint, purse structure and race
format, while providing a Series that has groomed young talent and provided
a continued course for our seasoned veteran drivers. I am extremely proud of
our accomplishments. We have developed great relationships with corporate
partners, tracks, promoters, team owners and drivers, all of which have
contributed to the success of the All Star Series. The time is right to pass
the torch to Kyle and Brad. I have had many conversations with them both on
their overall vision for 410 racing and I am confident that with their
leadership, the sport will continue to thrive into the foreseeable future.
“I am honored to have my name listed next to Bud Miller, Bert & Brigitte
Emick and Guy Webb as one of four to have owned the All Stars since 1970. I
certainly need to recognize and thank our employees. Our Series Directors,
Don Grabey, Eric Walls and Kevin Nouse, have all contributed immensely to
the Series and to the sport. The Series Director role is a thankless job and
I appreciate their efforts. Blake Anderson and Ross Paulson are our longest
tenured employees, having been with the All Stars since the inception of my
ownership. Their enthusiasm and dedication to the All Stars and 410 racing
are unparalleled. Kenny (Osborne), Erin (Noel), John (Menear), Tyler (Altmeyer),
Steve (Topper), Gooch (Jeff Patterson) and Logan (Nouse) were the most
recent part of the integral team that allowed us to remain humbly successful
over the course of nearly a decade. I look forward to our final banquet in
December to celebrate with all our constituents.”
In 2023, Larson and Sweet introduced the High Limit Sprint Car Series
with an inaugural schedule that featured 12 midweek events. Like Stewart,
their goal is to elevate sprint car racing and turn their passion for the
sport into a positive for fans, drivers, teams and race tracks.
“We’ve learned a lot throughout our inaugural midweek season this year,”
said Sweet, co-owner of the High Limit Sprint Car Series. “We have a strong
desire to expand on what we’ve learned and continue to contribute to and
grow sprint car racing. Kyle and I, like Tony, believe in this sport and
want to provide more opportunities for teams, drivers and tracks. We’re
looking forward to more announcements coming soon.”
Information regarding the 2024 schedule and team roster is forthcoming. Follow High Limit on X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook and Instagram to stay up-to-date on all upcoming announcements.
