Rising NASCAR star Ty Gibbs made an immediate impact in his High Limit Racing debut, locking himself into the Main Event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The young talent, known for his success in stock car racing, proved that his skills translate to dirt as he tackled the high-intensity sprint car series with confidence.
A Strong Start in Sprint Cars
Gibbs, better known for his time in NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series, is no stranger to high-speed competition. However, competing in High Limit Racing—a premier sprint car series founded by Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet—presented a brand-new challenge. Despite limited experience on dirt, he showed impressive adaptability, qualifying for the Main Event in his very first start.
“It’s awesome to be here and experience this level of competition,” Gibbs said after securing his spot. “Sprint car racing is a whole different beast, but I’m learning a lot and having fun.”
