Kyle Larson acquires Tony Stewart’s All Star Circuit of Champions in major Sprint Car Series shakeup

Kyle Larson, the champion of the High Limit Sprint Car Series, has acquired ownership of the All Star Circuit of Champions.

This announcement came on Monday, marking a significant shift in the landscape of the sport. The High Limit Series, co-owned by former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson and brother-in-law Brad Sweet, has rapidly gained prominence in the racing community since its inception.

The High Limit Sprint Car Series recently concluded its inaugural full season of competition just two weeks ago. The championship saw Larson emerge as the first-ever victor after an intense 11-round battle.

Larson's impressive performance included notable wins at Atomic Speedway in Waverly, Ohio and Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania.

The culmination of the season saw the Hendrick Motorsports ace securing a podium sweep, with a second-place finish in the season-ending Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal Speedway in Pennsylvania.

Tony Stewart, a titan in the world of racing and a team owner in the NASCAR Cup Series, had presided over the All-Star Circuit of Champions since 2015.

Larson, acknowledging Stewart's pivotal contributions, expressed his admiration in a press release. He stated:

"Sprint Car racing is in a better place today because of the contributions Tony has made, including his ownership of the All Stars. His commitment to giving back to the sport has been an inspiration to me, personally."

Meanwhile, Tony Stewart himself reflected on his initial vision when he took the reins of the All Stars in 2015.

"When I purchased the All Stars in 2015, my intention was to unite what had become a divided class of regional 410 winged sprint car racing," he said.

Over the years, Stewart's stewardship not only achieved this unity but also expanded the series' geographic footprint, elevated purse structures and introduced innovative race formats.

The All-Star Circuit of Champions became a proving ground for both emerging talents and seasoned veterans, ensuring a sustained progression for drivers of all levels.

The acquisition of the All Star Circuit of Champions by Larson and Sweet signifies a new era for Sprint Car racing with the Hendrick Motorsports driver at the helm.

Shifting focus to the world of NASCAR racing, Kyle Larson will be back in action during the last Round 3 playoff race in the Cup Series in Martinsville. Having already booked a place in the final four, the 31-year-old would be keen on riding the wave of momentum heading into the season finale.
