High Limit Racing heads to Australia
MOORESVILLE, N.C. — High Limit Racing is expanding beyond the USA borders for the first time through a partnership with Perth Motorplex in Perth, Western Australia. The three-day “High Limit International: Perth” will pay an Australian sprint car record $100,000 to the finale’s winner. High Limit
International: Perth will stream live across the globe exclusively on FloRacing.
“All of us at High Limit are excited to take the first step in expanding our brand to an international level,” said Kyle Larson, Co-Owner of High Limit Racing. “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.”
Although the international event does not count toward the Kubota High Limit Racing point standings, thus far six Kubota High Limit Racing drivers will participate in the December 28, 29 and 30 event. Larson will be making his first career start at the Western Australian track. Sweet, Cory Eliason, Parker Price-
Miller and Rico Abreu are both previous winners at the Motorplex. Australian High Roller James McFadden has nine career Motorplex wins and is the current Western Australia Sprint Car Champion. These “High Rollers” and more who are securing their Australian rides, will take on Australia’s top sprint car drivers including Callum Williamson, Dayne Kingshott and Jason Kendrick at the state-of-the-art venue that was recently named Speedway Australia’s Track of the Year.
“The Perth Motorplex is extremely excited to be the first track outside of North America to host High Limit Racing,” said Gavin Migro, General Manager at Perth Motorplex. “We’re proud to host the nation’s first ever $100,000-to-win sprint car race, joining some of the world’s highest paying events. Australian Speedway fans are in for an absolute delight to witness some of the greatest sprint car racers in the world battling in the most remote capital city on the planet.”
“This has been a goal of ours since the formation of High Limit Racing – to become a global brand and bring High Limit to race fans around the world,” said Sweet, Co-Owner of High Limit Racing. “Perth Motorplex is a great facility with an impressive staff and a strong fanbase. To team up with Gavin (Migro) and his track for our first international event was a no-brainer for us. We’re proud to be bringing a high-paying, high-caliber event to Australian sprint car fans.”
Elements from Kubota High Limit Racing events in “the States” will be traveling halfway around the world to the event, including the dice roll – giving race fans who pre-purchase tickets a chance at winning big money – will be included in the event. Announcers Chase Raudman and Tony LaPorta will join Perth Motorplex’s announcers while Competition Director Mike Hess will be managing the event
from the pit side.
Australia is the second largest subscriber market for FloSports’ motorsports brand - FloRacing - outside of the U.S. The addition of “High Limit International: Perth” to the FloRacing schedule rounds out an action-packed December that will include the 57th Snowball Derby, Gateway Dirt Nationals, and The Tulsa Shootout.
Michael Rigsby, FloRacing GM added, “We know that our Australian fans are eager for more motorsports action on their shores and to be able to bring another high-paying High Limit Racing event to them and stream it to the world is extremely exciting. This is going to super fuel the growth of High Limit and FloRacing in the market.”
Race fans from around the world have five months to book their airfare and accommodations to go “Down Under” and witness this inaugural event live. For event alerts, including early access to ticket sales, sign-up at www.motorplex.com.au/highlimitint-signup/.
