2023 High Limit Sprint Car Series expands into 12 races
The schedule for the 2023 High Limit Sprint Car Series will include 12 races starting March 28th at Thunderbowl Raceway (Tulare, Calif.) for a non-points race and ending October 10th at Lincoln Park Speedway (Punnamville, Ind.).
Brad Sweet and Kyle Larson founded the High Limit series to provide high-profile, large-dollar events in the middle of week. Two of the 12 races are at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City (Kansas), April 11. The September 29 race at Lernerville Speedway (Sarver, Pa.) will pay $50,000 to win. Round 5 at Wayne County Speedway, Orrville in Ohio will be $32,023 to-win. The purse for all other events is slightly higher than $23,000.
In 2023, ten states will host races with Indiana and Pennsylvania hosting each race.
Michael “Buddy” Kofoid won the inaugural race in August, 2022.
“I can’t wait to get started racing,” said Larson in a press release. “These are some of my favorite tracks I’ve ever raced at, and I’m looking forward to getting back to some I haven’t seen for some time, while also competing at Lakeside for the first time. The High Limit Sprint Car Series is a great fit for the 2023 sprint car landscape and will be a lucrative opportunity for both the teams and the fans. Brad and I can’t wait for it to get started.”

Brad Sweet, co-founder of the Series, explained why one of the 12 events is a non-points race.
“I’m sure a lot of fans and racers might be surprised that our first High Limit Sprint Car Series date is at Tulare’s Thunderbowl Raceway, and it being held as a non-points race,” said Sweet in a press release. “Despite previously stating that we doubted the High Limit Series would be able to accommodate a West Coast event in 2023, we have pivoted our thinking with an understanding that we should not limit our reach to only certain areas of the country, which we feel should help us grow our brand, and reach, more effectively.
“Also, with the decision of the national touring sprint car series to not contest any spring races in the Golden State in 2023, we believe the timing is right for a High Limit race to be held there at that time. We are hoping that many teams will head west for this race, or secure rides in California based cars, but we also understand that it may not be feasible for some, hence the reasoning behind our decision to make it a non-point event.”
