Get ready, racing fans! The High Limit Racing Series is gearing up for a monumental year in 2026, and it’s all kicking off with a bang at the iconic Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This season, the Kyle Larson co-owned sensation is set to host an impressive 66 races across 33 tracks, and the excitement begins with the highly anticipated Blackjack Bash from March 12-14. With NASCAR’s elite also taking the stage in Vegas, Larson is brimming with optimism about what this weekend could mean for sprint car racing.
Larson, the 2025 Cup Series champion, understands the electrifying atmosphere that Las Vegas brings. “Just getting the season kicked off in Vegas is always exciting,” he shared with enthusiasm. The Blackjack Bash coincides perfectly with the NASCAR Cup Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series events, presenting a unique opportunity for cross-pollination among racing fans.

Maybe, for those who have not watched a sprint car race, it could spark an interest,” he stated, pointing to the potential for new fans to discover their passion for this exhilarating sport.
High Limit Racing is not just another racing series—it’s a rapidly expanding phenomenon, fueled by substantial investments from Larson and co-founder Brad Sweet. Their commitment to creating a sustainable business model, complete with substantial payouts and national TV coverage, has positioned High Limit Racing as a formidable force in the sprint car arena.
