Among the drives carrying the flag for the red, white and blue is Kyle Larson, who will make his first appearance at Perth Motorplex. Larson will race in Australia all three nights before making his return to the Chili Bowl Nationals in January.
High Limit Racing co-founder and 2024 series champion Brad Sweet, who is among a list of former winners at Perth, will also be making the trip. Cory Eliason and Rico Abreu, who both previously claimed checkered flags at the prestigious Western Australia facility, are also heading down under.
A pair of Californians, Cole Macedo and Giovanni Scelzi, will travel with the Americans to Australia along with South Dakota's Matt Juhl, New Jersey's Justin Whittal and Pennsylvania's Brock Zearfoss.

“All of us at High Limit are excited to take the first step in expanding our brand to an international level,” Larson said following the announcement of the event. “Australian sprint car fans are passionate and super supportive. They deserve a six-figure paying race as do the Australian drivers and teams. I’m looking forward to getting down there with Brad (Sweet) and some of our High Rollers to race with those guys.”
James McFadden, who ran a full season with High Limit Racing in 2024 before announcing his plans to step away from full-time racing in the U.S., has nine career wins at the Western Australian facility. He will be part of a strong Australian contingency that features Callum Williamson, Dayne Kingshott and Jason Kendrick, among others.
