Kyle Larson knows 2024 potentially could define his racing legacy.
Not only will he vie for his second NASCAR Cup Series title, he also will compete in the Indianapolis 500 hoping to run 1,100 miles in a day with the biggest event in motorsports combined with NASCAR’s 600-mile Cup race at Charlotte.
Adding to it is more than just his usual mix of sprint-car and dirt late-model races. He co-owns High Limit Racing, which purchased the All-Star Circuit of Champions from Tony Stewart. What started as a company that promoted a dozen midweek high-paying races has now turned into a 59-race nationwide schedule.
If that makes the 31-year-old highly accomplished stock-car, sprint-car and dirt late model driver nervous, it sure doesn’t seem like it.
When asked if he ever thought he should not compete in the High Limit opener Monday night and instead just oversee and watch his employees operate the race, he gave the interviewer a curious look.
“No,” he said about just watching. “I’m a racer. I don’t wear a headset. I’m a driver.”
When asked Monday night at the High Limit opener on whether he has started any specific fitness training for the Indy-Charlotte double, he quipped: “What do you mean? I’m ripped, man.”
Larson has typically carried himself with an unassuming persona. At the High Limit race, when he got to the track, he signed the waiver absolving the series of liability. It was a little bit funny to see, considering he is part owner of the series. But that’s what racers do when they get to the track. They sign the waiver.

It’s because he can do the Indy 500-Coke 600 double and people believe he can win both races that he is in this position in the first place. Brad Sweet, his brother-in-law, co-owns the series with him and is an accomplished sprint-car racer having won five consecutive titles in (now their somewhat rival) World of Outlaws sprint car series.
Just having Larson involved gives the series instant credibility. Larson is under no obligation to run only High Limit events but will do as many as he can reasonably fit into his schedule.
And he’ll do it to compete, not to oversee his investment.
“I don’t know if you know Kyle — there’s no stress,” Sweet said. “Kyle is all about when and where he can race. This is more opportunities,so he’s happy. … Kyle was put on this Earth to drive a race car.”
