It was largely expected but now it’s official.
Tyler Courtney and the Clauson-Marshall Racing No. 7BC will contest the full High Limit Racing Series season in its inaugural national schedule.
Following a widely successful USAC stint in the 2010 with 50 victories and championships in both the Sprint Car and Midget championships, Courtney put a wing on it in 2021 and immediately took to the discipline with two All Star Circuit of Champions titles, two wins on the World of Outlaws tour and a Kings Royal victory at Eldora Speedway.
It felt like a formality because Courtney is very close with series co-owners Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet. Specifically, he was the best man for Larson when he married Katelyn Sweet, Brad’s sister. It was just a matter of making the business end make sense.
Now High Limit, in its first season as a challenger tour to World of Outlaws, has yet another major player in the discipline capable of taking the fight in the championship battle.
Courtney and Clauson Marshall make it 16 High Rollers alongside Rico Abreu (Abreu No. 24), Jacob Allen (Shark Racing No. 1A), Spencer Bayston (CJB Motorsports No. 5), Brenham Crouch (Crouch No. 1), Corey Day (Jason Meyers Racing No. 14), Cory Eliason (Ridge & Sons Racing No. 8), Kasey Kahne (Kahne No. 9), Brent Marks (Murray-Marks No. 19), Justin Peck (Buch Motorsports No. 13), Parker Price-Miller (PPM No. 9P), Brad Sweet (Kasey Kahne Racing No. 49), Chris Windom (Vermeer Motorsports No. 55), Zeb Wise (Rudeen Racing No. 26), Connor Morrel (Marc Dailey Racing No. 2MD) and Tanner Thorson (Rod Gross Motorsports No. 88).
To wit, about the ability to take the fight to Sweet in the expected championship battle, Courtney has won at 14 of 38 tracks on the schedule — second only to Sweet.
Further, the 16 full-timers surely won’t last the entire season but many of them are signing up early in the hopes of earning one of the 10 charters being made available before the 2026 season.
The details of that system as it currently exists can be found here.
