Who's Racing In Kyle Larson's High Limit Open?
Expected entries for the Kyle Larson High Limit Open at Lincoln Park Speedway include NASCAR stars, Sprint Car champions and big race winners.
A new era will begin for Sprint Car racing on Tuesday night at Lincoln Park Speedway when the green flag waves for the inaugural Kyle Larson High Limit Open presented by K1 RaceGear. Tuesday's standalone race, which pays $22,022 to win, will set the stage for the inaugural High Limit Open Sprint Car Series season in 2023.
Since the announcement of the High Limit Racing event and series, the Sprint Car community has been abuzz with talk about which drivers will show up to the inaugural event.
While an official entry list will not be released because pre-entry is not required for the event, FloRacing has assembled a list of some of the expected entries for Tuesday night's race. The list is not official and has been assembled based on social media posts, as well as information provided to FloRacing.
As expected, Larson will be competing in the event behind the wheel of the Paul Silva No. 57 Sprint Car. He'll also be bringing a trio of his friends from the NASCAR Cup Series with Chase Briscoe, Alex Bowman and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. all expected to be in attendance.

The four NASCAR stars will be challenged by a stout list of Sprint Car regulars including defending Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions champion Tyler Courtney. Four-time USAC National Sprint Car champion Brady Bacon, 2017 USAC National Sprint Car champion Chris Windom and defending USAC National Midget Series champion Buddy Kofoid will add more championship flair to Tuesday's event.
Pennsylvania ace Brent Marks enters the race as one of the most dominant Sprint Car drivers this season. In addition to claiming the PA Speedweek crown this summer, Marks scored big wins during the Historical Big One and Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway in July.
Justin Grant, another driver who is enjoying a stellar 2022 season, is also expected to put a wing on it and make a rare Winged Sprint Car start on Tuesday. Grant, the current USAC National Sprint Car championship leader, has scored wins in Non-Winged Sprint Cars, Midgets and USAC Silver Crown cars already this season.
Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions winners Cory Eliason, Justin Peck and Hunter Schuerenberg are also expected to join the field, as is two-time USAC Indiana Sprint Week champion Kevin Thomas, Jr.
The drivers mentioned above are just a small sample of the drivers expected to be in attendance on Tuesday night.
