Not long ago, Kyle Larson and his brother-in-law Brad Sweet were in deep waters with a former High Limit employee launching serious allegations against High Limit Racing. Kevin Nouse, who served as the technical director for the series was sacked after a fallout with the leadership group just six months into his role in June last year. What followed next was a series of allegations and malpractice by Nouse on series director Mike Hess. Although Larson and Sweet did their best to avoid being a part of this mess, they released a joint statement. “High Limit Racing believes in a fair and equal playing field for all competitors. Any claims to the contrary are unjustified.”

The timing of the controversy was interesting, to say the least, as High Limit was preparing for their first international event in Perth, Australia. But, in a surprising turn of events, Nouse has decided to delete all the tweets and threads where he launched a scathing attack on the integrity of the series.

What is the Kevin Nouse High Limit Racing controversy?

Nouse’s allegations were in response to a troll account on the social media platform X. He even opened a can of worms with the stories of how he was asked to neglect malpractices by race car drivers during the High Limit events. “Sprint car racing is thriving, and it’s awesome to see. However, enforcing the rules and having integrity needs to be just as important as any other thing they do. ‘Don’t bring it back,’ ‘quit looking for that,’ or ‘just let it go’ shouldn’t be in a series director or tech director’s vocabulary.”

This was his initial response after being fired, but just before High Limit Racing was scheduled to race at the Perth Motorplex, he indulged in a social media beef with a troll account. The former High Limit employee claimed that he once found a 1.25″ wicker bill in a driver’s top wing in a post-race inspection. Although Nouse wanted to DQ the driver after the qualifiers, he was asked by Mike Hess to sweep this incident under the rug.

That wasn’t it. He also revealed that he once found an engine with two crank triggers; the rulebook only allows the use of one. But yet again he was told, “quit looking for crank triggers.” Nouse concluded his statement by saying, “When people speak up, they are ridiculed and labeled as a crybaby or disgruntled employee. Nobody takes it seriously, and it is dismissed. It will only change when the series’ takes a conscious effort to address it and hire people with integrity.” Well, it was a lot to take in for the race fans, and it did open up a conversation about how the new series is being run.

However, with Nouse now opting to delete all his comments and replies where he unwrapped the behind-the-scenes stories is certainly baffling. This didn’t make sense as Nouse didn’t have ties with High Limit Racing, as he had already been fired from his position. Well, it is hard to speculate or guess what could’ve led to this action by the former High Limit employee. But, as far as the series is concerned, they are well on their way to executing their ambitious plans for the 2025 season.

New race tracks and return of marquee events for the 2025 season

Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet’s brainchild was a unique take on what the traditional sprint car racers were used to. The World of Outlaws was the one that kick started this movement, and this vision is now being pushed forward by the likes of Larson and Sweet. With a compact racing schedule backed by a lucrative race purse, it did resonate well with the sprint car community. And the 2025 season is going to continue this trend.

The 2025 Kubota High Limit Racing has been finalized with a total of 61 events scheduled across 36 unique racing venues. This second-year stint will see High Limit host its event across 20 states. There will be a trio of six-figure paydays with the events at Eldora Speedway on July 16-17, the Silver Dollar Speedway on August 21-23, and Skagit Speedway on August 28-30.

Of the 36 tracks listed on the schedule, 15 of them will be hosting their first-ever High Limit Racing event. Las Vegas, Bakersfield, Perris, Central Arizona, Vado, Route 66, Dodge City, Texarkana, 81, Fremont, Ransomville, 141, Red Cedar, Florence, and Path Valley are those 15 locations. With the rumors about a potential link between High Limit and Outlaw swirling around, it will be interesting to see how the two series fare up this season.
