The owners of High Limit Racing are five-time World of Outlaws champion Brad Sweet and 2021 NASCAR champion Larson. Originally known as the High Limit Sprint Car Series in 2023, the United Series now goes by a new moniker and a massive schedule following its acquisition of Tony Stewart's All-Star Race of Champions.

Kyle Larson Controversies

He may come across as a civil sportsperson today but Kyle Larson did become a center of attention for all the wrong reasons back when he was racing for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020. The now-Hendrick Motorsports driver uttered a racial slur during a video game stream in April of that year. He was swiftly dropped from his team and he lost his sponsors. Before long, NASCAR suspended the driver. Larson was reinstated in October after which he joined HMS.

The 2021 Cup Series champion has had run-ins with the outspoken Denny Hamlin. The two drivers had a moment in the 2023 Cup Series season in Kansas. Hamlin nudged Larson into the wall to take the victory of the race. The two drivers expressed their disappointment with one another and even the Joe Gibbs Racing driver's comments on the Actions Detrimental podcast frustrated his rival.

“I don’t think there’s a reason to be mad at him,” Larson had said on an episode of the High Limit Room podcast. “We were racing aggressively on the last lap for a win, and he was way faster than me. Just the only thing that I guess I get frustrated with is on his deal, his podcast, he says, ‘I race a certain way, but I’ve never had to reach out to him to apologize about anything.'"
