It's Larson's first career win with the four-race-old High Limit Series, which cashed out a whopping $35,023 when including the $3,000 bounty for topping hometown favorite and race promoter Sheldon Haudenschild.

Justin Sanders of Aromas, Calif., finished 1.358 seconds behind Larson as Justin Peck of Monrovia, Ind., came from 12th to finish third. Brian Brown of Higginsville, Mo., earned hard-charger by starting 25th and finishing fourth. 

Tyler Courtney, who entered Tuesday's third-round of High Limit's inaugural season tied with Larson atop the series standings, finished 22nd when he flipped out of the sixth position with eight laps to go. Haudenschild, who grew up 15 minutes down the road in Wooster, Ohio, started 10th and finished ninth.

Winning Quote From Kyle Larson

“It means a lot, I think, when we see the fans. I think to see all these places that are packed, see the car counts, too (59 on Tuesday). It's been since COVID, I feel like, since you've seen car counts in the 50s. ... Everybody at FloSports and FloRacing, what they do to support this series, and put on a great broadcast for you and the fans at home. I hope everybody enjoys it. We're trying our best to build (High Limit) up."
