With the second installment of the Kubota High Limit Racing national season right around the corner, it's time to take a look at the talented and deep roster of drivers expected to campaign on the tour this year.

The 60-race season begins March 13 and 15 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with every High Limit event streamed live on FloRacing in 2025. 

Our series primer takes a look at the 14 drivers who have pledged their commitment to the tour while assessing the best and worst case scenarios for each of them (drivers listed by number):

No. 5 Brenham Crouch

Hometown: Lubbock, Texas

Age: 19

Team: CJB Motorsports

Touring history: Second year on High Limit (16th in points in 2024)

Best case: Growing in confidence under the helm of longtime crew chief Barry Jackson and under the mentorship of Paul McMahan, the teenaged driver finishes inside the top-10 in points. His ledger includes his first High Limit Racing top-five and finishes inside the top-10 at least five times while contending for a win or two.

Worst case: The young Crouch goes through a sophomore slump and only finishes inside the top-10 a few times like his rookie 2024 season marked by growing pains and learning to adapt to touring the country against Sprint Car racing’s best.

Notable: The second-year touring driver has one career 410 victory in 133 starts, coming July 2023 at Wisconsin’s Wilmot Speedway on the IRA Sprint Car Series. Crouch finished inside the top-10 twice in 51 races with High Limit last year, posting a best finish of ninth at Ohio’s Portsmouth Raceway Park last July.

No. 7BC Tyler Courtney

Hometown: Indianapolis, Ind.

Age: 30

Team: Clauson-Marshall Racing

Touring history: Second year on High Limit (second in points in 2024)

Best case: Shoring up the inconsistencies and DNFs that separated him and champion Brad Sweet last year, the former All Star Circuit of Champions title winner puts it all together to win the High Limit crown with double-digit wins and 30-plus top-fives.

Worst case: While Courtney wins his fair share of features, he can’t quite string together enough top-five and top-10 runs to outdo his fellow championship contenders, namely Sweet, Rico Abreu and Brent Marks.

Notable: The CMR driver popularly known as Sunshine has upped his win total every year since going full-time winged racing in 2021. Last year he turned in a career-best season of 12 wins (six with High Limit) and nearly $450,000 earned. He hung with Brad Sweet for the High Limit title last year until six finishes of 17th or worse in eight races on August’s West Coast swing.

No. 9 Chase Randall

Hometown: Waco, Texas

Age: 20

Team: Randall Racing

Touring history: First year on tour (has one top-five in 24 series starts)

Best case: Adapting to the touring grind well after cutting his teeth as a True Outlaw the past two years, the third-year 410 Sprint Car driver picks up a win, a handful of top-fives and double-digit top-10s en route to the tour’s Rookie of the Year honors.

Worst case: Randall continues to show flashes of potential, but has a hard time getting into a rhythm while getting his family-run team that sat idle all of last year back up to speed.

Notable: The Texan who’s relocated his team to Indiana for the 2025 High Limit season has a career-best finish of third on the tour last June at Missouri’s I-70 Motorsports Park. In 24 career touring starts, he has one top five and five top-10s. He also won a pair of 410 features at Knoxville last year.

No. 9 Kasey Kahne

Hometown: Enumclaw, Wash.

Age: 44

Team: Kasey Kahne Racing

Touring history: Second year on tour (14th in points last year)

Best case: Carrying over the momentum from the end of last year when he finished in the top-five twice over his final six national touring races, the former NASCAR Cup star goes for multiple top-fives and double-digit top-10s in 2025 en route to a top-10 points finish.

Worst case: Kahne goes winless in a Sprint Car for the second straight year and, like last year when he was one of two High Limit drivers to not accrue double-digit top-10 finishes, has another mid-pack season outside the top-10 in points.

Notable: The former NASCAR Cup star’s career-best finish of fifth with High Limit came in the third-to-last series race of 2024 at Lucas Oil Speedway’s rescheduled Diamond Classic. In 57 career High Limit races, he has one top-five and 10 top-10s. This year, Kahne welcomes Eric Prutzman and Andrew Bowman — both former crew chiefs of Brad Sweet — to his KKR No. 9 team.

No. 13 Daison Pursley

Hometown: Locust Grove, Okla.

Age: 20

Team: Buch Motorsports

Touring history: First year on tour (four career High Limit starts)

Best case: The reigning USAC National Midget champion builds upon the promising start to his tenure with Buch Motorsports where the duo collected a podium finish and top-10 run at the World Finals last November en route to Rookie of the Year honors. Pursley notches his first touring winged victory, perhaps at Eldora, Kokomo or Path Valley, tracks he’s won at in a Midget and/or wingless Sprint Car.

Worst case: The wingless descendant Pursley needs a full year on the road competing and learning against the best in a winged Sprint Car to better adapt to the discipline before being a High Limit frontrunner.

Notable: Despite having 29 total winged starts under his belt, Pursley is making a run at Rookie of the Year honors with Pennsylvania-based Buch Motorsports, which led Justin Peck to a pair of High Limit wins over the last two years. While Pursley’s best High Limit finish is 20th, he has two World of Outlaws top-10s in 13 starts with the series.

No. 14 Spencer Bayston

Hometown: Lebanon, Ind.

Age: 26

Team: Jason Meyers Racing

Touring history: Fourth year on a national tour (second with High Limit; eighth in points last year)

Best case: Taking over the reins of the race machine that Corey Day wheeled to eight High Limit victories, Bayston harnesses that very speed en route to a career-best season highlighted by a top-five points finish with a handful of wins, 15-plus top-fives, and 30-plus top-10s.

Worst case: Bayston doesn’t go winless like he did last year, but he finishes just inside the top-10 with only a victory or two to show for.

Notable: The fourth-year touring driver went winless last year for the first time joining a national tour in 2022. In 52 career High Limit starts, he has 13 top-fives and 28 top-10s.

No. 19m Brent Marks

Hometown: Myerstown, Pa.

Age: 34

Team: Murray-Marks Racing

Touring history: Fifth year on a national tour (second with High Limit; fourth in points last year)

Best case: Recapturing the success from his 18-win, top-ranked 2022 season (he was the No. 1 driver per sprintcarratings.com that season), Marks rattles off eight-plus victories and 40-plus top-10s en route to the High Limit title.

Worst case: A lack of victories hinders Marks, whose six wins last year were his lowest since 2020, from truly competing for the High Limit title as he finishes toward the back end of the top-five in points.

Notable: The 2022 Kings Royal champion has been one of the winningest drivers on the Sprint Car circuit in recent years as his 55 wins since 2020 are fifth-most over that span behind only Kyle Larson, Anthony Macri, David Gravel and Brad Sweet. In 60 career High Limit races, he has three victories, 16 top-fives and 38 top-10s.

No. 24 Rico Abreu

Hometown: St. Helena, Calif.

Age: 33

Team: Rico Abreu Racing

Touring history: Second year on tour (third in points last year)

Best case: Building upon the fruitful foundation with legendary crew chief Ricky Warner, Abreu goes for a career-best and championship season marked by double-digit series wins, 30-plus top-fives and 40-plus top-10s.

Worst case: Abreu isn’t as consistent as five-time national champion Brad Sweet and slips out of championship content by late summer. He still produces a handful of victories and a top-five points finish.

Notable: Abreu’s entering his fourth year with Hall of Fame crew chief Ricky Warner, who’s guided the popular driver to back-to-back double-digit seasons in the win column. Abreu’s eight wins on High Limit last year were tied for second most with Corey Day. In 62 career High Limit starts, he has 12 wins, 30 top-fives and 46 top-10s.

VIDEO: Rico Abreu cashed a big check at the Skagit Nationals last season.

No. 24D Danny Sams III

Hometown: North Port, Fla.

Age: 22

Team: Rocky Anderson Racing

Touring history: First year on tour (12 career High Limit starts)

Best case: Carrying over his formidable with the World of Outlaws this month at Volusia that included four straight top-15 finishes and one top-10, Sams impresses in his maiden national touring campaign by winning Rookie of the Year honors. He finishes inside the top-five multiple times and goes for double-digit top-10 finishes.

Worst case: Managing a frugal, family-run team, Sams III struggles to keep up with the national touring stalwarts and finishes outside the top-10 in points.

Notable: Sams has gotten off to a strong start to 2025, finishing inside the top-10 earlier this month with the World of Outlaws at Volusia. He made a name for himself last year during Ohio Speedweek when he won three races in a five-day span. He has 10 career 410 wins in 120 starts and one top-10 finish with High Limit in 12 career series starts.

No. 26 Justin Peck

Hometown: Monrovia, Ind.

Age: 26

Team: Rudeen Racing

Touring history: Second year on tour (sixth in points last year)

Best case: Using his impressive sweep of the ASCS-sanctioned DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia earlier this month as a springboard, Peck and his new-look Rudeen team compile a handful of victories on tour en route to a top-five points finish.

Worst case: Like last year when he only won once, Peck remains consistently around the top-five and inside the top-10 but struggles to win his share of races touring against some of the sport’s best.

Notable: The second-year High Limit driver was one of six on tour to produce at least 15 top-five finishes and 30-plus top-10 finishes. In 61 career High Limit races, he has two wins, 17 top-fives and 34 top-10s.

No. 42 Sye Lynch

Hometown: Apollo, Pa.

Age: 27

Team: Mosites Motorsports

Touring experience: First year on tour (28 career High Limit starts)

Best case: The third-generation driver bottles up his trio of top-fives with High Limit last year and vindicates his decision to go national series racing by capturing Rookie of the Year honors and picking up his first series win, perhaps at his home track Lernerville Speedway on July 22 or Sept. 12-13.

Worse case: Lynch takes his rookie touring lumps and finishes outside the top-10 in points.

Notable: The High Limit rookie finished runner-up twice and inside the top-10 three times over his final seven series races of 2024. Both runner-ups were during Commonwealth Clash weekend last September. Lynch also led laps in June 28’s fifth-place run at Missouri’s Lucas Oil Speedway.

No. 49 Brad Sweet

Hometown: Grass Valley, Calif.

Age: 39

Team: Kasey Kahne Racing

Touring history: 12th year on a national tour (second with High Limit as the reigning series champion)

Best case: The gold standard of Sprint Car racing upholds the status quo as he leads the series once again in wins, top-fives and top-10s en route to his second straight High Limit title and seventh straight national title.

Worst case: Sweet’s national title run comes to an end as his championship competitors, namely Rico Abreu, Tyler Courtney, and Brent Marks, up their game. Sweet still wins his fair share of races and finishes inside the top-three in points.

Notable: The 101-time national series winner is coming off a sterling 10-win season in which he finished inside the top 10 on 43 occasions in 49 races. Sweet welcomes first-time crew chief Tye Wolfgang to his six-time national title-winning crew. In 51 career High Limit races, he has 10 wins, 35 top-fives and 44 top-10s.

No. 87 Aaron Reutzel

Hometown: Clute, Texas

Age: 34

Team: Ridge & Sons Racing

Touring history: First year on tour (not eligible for Rookie of the Year; 23 career High Limit starts)

Best case: Leaning on his touring experience as a two-time All Star Circuit of Champions title winner, Reutzel wins a handful of features on the High Limit tour while contending for a top-five points finish.

Worst case: Having not raced a national tour since campaigning with the World of Outlaws in 2021, Reutzel, who still wins a feature or two, isn’t as sharp as a touring driver from the outset of the season and falls behind to truly contend for a top-five points spot.

Notable: The last time Reutzel completed a tour, he ended up as the back-to-back champion of the All Star Circuit of Champions in 2020. Reutzel’s spent the last three years primarily racing around the Midwest and at Knoxville Raceway, where he won eight times in the 410 and 360 last year. In 23 career High Limit starts, Reutzel has one win (Tuscarora 50 prelim night last year), five top-fives and 10 top-10s.

No. 88 Tanner Thorson

Hometown: Minden, Nev.

Age: 28

Team: Rod Gross Motorsports

Touring history: Second year on tour (13th in points last year)

Best case: Growing in confidence at the 410 national level, Thorson goes for multiple High Limit wins, double-digit top-fives and 20-plus top-10s. He also finishes inside the top-10 in points.

Worst case: Still adapting to the highest level in Sprint Car racing, Thorson only wins once on the High Limit tour and finishes outside the top-10 in points.

Notable: The former Chili Bowl Nationals champion picked up his first career High Limit Racing victory at East Bay Raceway Park last year en route to a 13th-place points finish. In 49 High Limit starts, he has one win, five top-fives and 16 top-10s.
