Las Vegas Motor Speedway‘s dirt track will be the site of a high-stakes, season-opening weekend for High Limit Racing.

The series, co-owned by 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson and accomplished sprint car competitor Brad Sweet, is set to embark on its fourth year of operation. More than 60 events encompass the 2025 High Limit Racing schedule, which features stops at renowned dirt track facilities across 20 states.

Larson headlines a talented group of sprint car drivers set to descend upon Las Vegas for the track‘s inaugural High Limit Racing event.

Since establishing High Limit Racing alongside Sweet, Larson has amassed seven victories in the series and a championship, which he secured in 2023.

Joining Larson on the High Limit Racing roster for Las Vegas is his long-time rival in fellow Cup Series driver Christopher Bell. Currently riding a three-race win streak in NASCAR‘s premier division, Bell will look to sustain the momentum in his High Limit Racing debut before pursing his fourth consecutive Cup Series victory on Sunday at Las Vegas‘ intermediate track.

Ty Gibbs is also set to compete with High Limit Racing across both races at Las Vegas. Gibbs will be driving for CB Industries; the High Limit Racing opener is part of his expanded dirt racing schedule in 2025, which included his first Chili Bowl in January.

There will be plenty of other notable names standing in the way of Larson, Bell and Gibbs across the two-day affair. Sweet seeks to defend his High Limit Racing crown from 2024 against a stacked group of full-time drivers such as Tyler Courtney, Rico Abreu, 2022 Chili Bowl winner Tanner Thorson and former Cup Series driver Kasey Kahne.

A full slate of activities for drivers and fans at Las Vegas commences Wednesday evening with the world premiere of DIRT Season 2 at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. The documentary highlights the first full season for High Limit Racing and will feature in-depth content surrounding Larson, Sweet, Abreu, Corey Day and others.

Those not attending Las Vegas who wish to see the premier of DIRT Season 2 can do so live on FloRacing at 6 p.m. ET before the feature lands on YouTube at the same time the following the day. The remaining four episodes will follow a near-identical release schedule every week.

Larson, Sweet, Bell and the rest of the High Limit Racing field will give fans plenty to anticipate and discuss as they kick off another season at Las Vegas this weekend. The winner in Thursday‘s opener receives a $10,000 paycheck, and the driver who emerges victorious on Saturday earns $25,000.

The quest to conquer Las Vegas and start 2025 on a positive note for the High Limit Racing championship contenders begins when FloRacing goes live at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday evening. FloRacing’s coverage of Saturday‘s festivities at Las Vegas begins at 8:45 p.m. ET.
