@KyleLarsonRacin
is a FAST man.
Now he’s on his way to North Carolina after qualifying FIFTH in his first ever Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
I can’t believe I get to live here and watch this.
Man, this is what it’s about.
My days at IMSA and the big road course series’ were cool but not like this.
It’s 11 pm on a TUESDAY night and there are fans at nearly every single car following the
@WorldofOutlaws
feature event tonight, and they aren’t leaving.
As an announcer/reporter, having your words immortalized can (emphasis on CAN) be an honor.
This is not one of those times.
But it is funny.
Thanks to Kevin Rudeen for the heartfelt gift 😂
Tune in tonight to see some more math, & incredible sprint car racing on
@FloRacing
Welcome to the team,
@TLP_Voice
. 🎤
With
@Chase_Raudman2
in the booth, we’ve also added Tony LaPorta to the
@FloRacing
production as the High Limit Racing pit reporter this year!
Tonight a fan after the races came up to me and to my face said;
“I wasn’t so sure about you at the start of the year, but now I think you’re doing great”.
Thanks man… glad I could sway your opinion.
Placerville up next

@HighLimitRacing
at
@kokomospeedway
is a great thing.
Big crowd, and great racing!
Highlight of the night was getting to talk on Flo with
@jdouglas4
& 3x Indianapolis 500 winner, Johnny Rutherford!
The best time of the whole year, May in Indiana!!
I’m *air quotes* not tired *air quotes *
A busy but incredible season w/
@HighLimitRacing
comes to an end in one month.
8 races, 4 states, and officiating a wedding all in the next 30 days.
And then some other news I’m pretty excited about after this month.

@cpracingphotos
When Eldora is packed full of people watching race cars go a hundred plus miles an hour racing for a ton of money it’s an incredible place to be.
But when it’s empty and so quiet you can hear the wind blowing in the trees off the backstretch it’s still a pretty cool place to be
Apparently last night someone said that I “should quit announcing to become a used car salesman”.
I don’t know why, but I laughed so hard when I heard that.
I seriously love this job & the people I get to go up and down the road with.
Can I interest ya in this 04 Trailblazer?
Second fastest at the end of the first session today
And fastest
@ArrowMcLaren
on the track
It’s just day 1
People who really think
@KyleLarsonRacin
is not the best of his generation are just closing their eyes at this point….
Having an awesome day @
@IMS
.
It was made even better when we found
@McKennaHaase
working in her OWN mobile coffee shop - Stop 11 Coffee. The only mobile coffee shop at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the whole month of May.
The coffee smelled delicious and the line was long!
8 of the last 10 days spent at a race track, and that was just the first 4 races of 107 this year.
To say I’m in love is an understatement.
My deepest gratitudes to everyone at
@USACNation
and to all of you who tuned in live on
@FloRacing
each night.
(Continued)
To everyone who checked in on Walker and I, thank you… we made it with time to pack a cooler, and find seats high above turn 1 at the world’s greatest race course!
May in Indianapolis is unlike anything else and I’m grateful to get to experience it.
Building notes and seeing friends out on the road.
4.5 hours from Douglas County up to Grays Harbor nearly done thanks to
@Chase_Raudman2
shaving minutes. The West Coast run wraps up with 4 nights of racing at 2 different tracks in the next 4 days.
@HighLimitRacing
Just a really good announcer, and me hanging out in the chip aisle at Kroger.
Always good talking to ya,
@BlakeAnderson
. Enjoy those eggs and go Hawkeyes.
Sprint car racing and the American short track are both very alive and very well.
Also, I was told steaming races live was going to “kill crowds” 🤔🤔
Boy, were those people completely wrong.
“You were the of voice my childhood. Every time I hear your voice over the speakers here, I’m back to being Tony Stewart on NASCAR Thunder on the PS2 and you’re describing me hitting the turn 2 wall at Dover”
He laughed and its the coolest I ever felt
God Bless you, Bob Jenkins
This.
A very rare once in a while, I will see a wildly uneducated tweet/post about me “running” up to drivers & shoving a mic in their face immediately after a crash.
The people who post that stuff aren’t smart enough to know that I *walk* up to every single driver, and then ASK
@tlp_voice
@HighLimitRacing
@FloRacing
It's interesting how many drivers are willing to talk to you at the worse possible time, after a crash . It's a reflection how comfortable they are with you . Thanks for all you do .
To everyone who thought they were smarter than the
@WorldofOutlaws
for canceling tonight… we’re riding out the Tornado warnings 9 minutes south of I55 Raceway.
Hail, lightning and sideways rain.
But yea, they shoulda raced.

It was 320 days from taking off the headset at Ventura and helping tell the story of Logan Seavey winning the ‘21 Turkey Night Grand Prix, to putting a headset back on at Port City where I got to help tell the story of Zach Daum winning w/ the

Midget Series.
Having a lot of fun out on the road w/

so far in ‘24.
Damn I’m grateful to see myself in these pics.
Huge thank you to
@nickzeb
for the incredible images of me getting to do a job I love.
Thank you also to the teams, drivers & staffs of Flo/HL for being amazing
I LOVE 4-Crown weekend.
Having had the great pleasure of calling USAC’s portion of the event in 2021 and to now come back to the race w/
@HighLimitRacing
makes this coming weekend a pretty special two days for me.
The best news, it’s ALL live on
@FloRacing
!
Sometimes it’s all about capping off the 2 1/2 hour drive from one track to the next by finding a 7/11 across the street from your hotel that has fresh “baked” chocolate chip cookies for the screaming deal of 6 for $3 at 1am.
Off to the track in 9 hours.
Let's hope everyone can get along over the next four days!
All I can say is there's going to be a showdown in Brandon, South Dakota. We're going to hustle for $100,000 on Thursday and go for $250,000 on Saturday night at the
@HusetsSpeedway
High Bank Nationals.
I came to work w/the
@WorldofOutlaws
so I could tell cool stories in 2022.
I did not expect my first story to feature one of my favorite musicians of all time. Let alone him sharing the story!
@codyjohnson
inspired this team, and has inspired me to run wide ass open this year.
As most of you know, I picked up a part time job at Papa Johns with the shutdown in racing. Needless to say when this delivery came across the computer I thought “creative fake name”
Man, I don’t care what anyone says.
@NBCSports
and
@IndyCaronNBC
are doing an outstanding job with full time
@IndyCar
coverage this year. They’re actually making the sport a priority.
Seriously such a better job than anyone else has done.
Thank you,
@NBCSports
@IndyCaronNBC
This weekend was awesome
Check out my point of view for a crazy Friday in to Saturday run from New York to Indy after working a
@HighLimitRacing
event and making it to
@IMS
in time for qualifying.
Incredibly excited and very grateful to be given an opportunity of this magnitude with a group of real racers like this one.
No matter what happens, this much is clear;
@HighLimitRacing
is intended on improving the raceday experience for both fans, and racers.
It started with a vision to take our sport to the next level — and tomorrow, we take the biggest step yet.
17 full-timers. 59 races. A national campaign.
Thank you to the fans, sponsors, teams, drivers, tracks, staff & partners who got us here.

Watch the whole video and then tell me why Sprint Car t-shirts mean something to you
Whether you're an Outlaws diehard, a PA Posse faithful or a local hero fan, you likely have more than a couple dirt racing t-shirts in your drawer.
To many, these threads are more than just wearable art.
Listen to the stories behind the colors 👇
Turns out it was legit. And
@Hinchtown
says he loves my work on
@RoadToIndyTV
and on the
@GlobalMX5Cup
broadcasts.
DISCLAIMER: he said NONE of those things.
But he DID tip for his pizza, which most people seem to forget how to do these days.
Living and working in Indy is fun
While I agree w/ everything Toby says here, I very much appreciate the final paragraph
This year has been amazing& I’m grateful to be in the position to receive reviews like this. Especially from someone who does such a good job in the sport himself
@HighLimitRacing
is growing
Rico.
He’s bigger than the sport of Sprint Car racing.
He’s the only driver held back by the sport itself.
Not the other way around.
Think about it.
Runs his own team.
Treats partners like family.
Values fans.
Then straps in and wins.
I probably shouldn’t say it but no other
The
@EldoraSpeedway
pizza burger with mozz sticks added underneath the bun is an elite race track dinner and I’ll fight you if you disagree with me.
But after I go get another one.
The

tour is simply listening to George Strait at 2am in the hotel with
@TLP_Voice
while working on notes for the next day.
See ya in Hanford. It’s hot but it’s a dry heat.
It’s the
@BikiniZone_
Eagle Nationals tonight.
Hundreds and hundreds of these tank tops have been dropped off at the High Limit Command Center.
Will I sport this live on our
@FloRacing
broadcast of
@HighLimitRacing
tonight??
Text your votes to the High Limit Hotline now.
I was leaving
@UR_Speedway
in a rush this past May to get on the road for Indy 500 qualifying the next day. But I saw these two sitting by themselves after the feature having a concession stand dinner.
Happy Birthday,

I promise I’ll get a real post up talking
@HighLimitRacing
opening day & how awesome it was to be a part of it
But right now its off to Miami to grab another mic with
@ROKCupUSA
Thank you so damn much to everyone who tweeted, text, or came up and shook my hand. It means so much
A woman just changed her babys diaper on our flight
While she herself stayed seated in the middle seat
Im seated in that rows window
The child was practically in my lap
I guess since she offered me her cookie they handed out during the flight we’re just all family now

I took a ride on a yellow school bus around a red dirt race track Tuesday night.
It dropped me off at one of the best races run this year with
@HighLimitRacing
!
I want to go on record and let everyone know the the USAC production team (who actually produces the broadcast you all watch) DID NOT cut Robert Ballou’s interview.
That was done by
@FloRacing
itself, cutting our stream prematurely.
About 30 minutes since rolling out of
@AngellPark
. Which means 6 hours left to Du Quoin. Not sure where we’re stopping for the night (or if we are). But the good news is that
@JustinGrant40
is in the truck catching a ride and he has an endless supply of
@NosEnergyDrink
in his bag
The renovations at
@JustinGrant40
’s shop in Speedway really are amazing.
Should we come back and film a shop tour to play during the Lawrenceburg broadcast on
@FloRacing
April 3?
Holy shit.
We’re done just before the rain.
Congratulations to both
@TyCourtney7BC
and
@robertballou81
.
THAT is why I love this shit.
Hands down the most competitive, difficult and entertaining racing I have EVER been apart of.
Hope y’all have a good ass night. I did.
#USACNation
On the way home from Gas City.
Dang, that was a wild one tonight.
Congrats to,
@Logan_Seavey
for being a good racecar driver.
I gained a good number of followers tonight. Last time that happened was night 1 in Florida when everyone wanted to know who the shitty new guy was. 😬
Dan, I’ll be the first to say that I understand and AGREE with the early season criticisms of my work. Hell, I STILL have a lot to get better at. But thank you for allowing me the time to improve and change your opinion of me.
I really appreciate your tweet.
At the beginning of the
@USACNation
season I was a little unsure about
@tlp_voice
but I gotta say I really have come to like his style on the mic and I hope he sticks around.
If you ate today, thank a farmer.
If you were inspired Thursday night, thank

a random fan stopped me at his seat, looked me in the eye and said “son, you’re too young to look as old as you do”.
My body hurt already. Now my heart does.

What
@Justin_Fiedler
has done with

is really something. To produce something this professional and as consistently as he does is not easy. And all while remaining impartial and simply reporting the facts… well, that’s just special these days.
Updates today on a still murky Ohio Sprint Speedweek situation, High Limit needs an announcer, Huset's adds more big money Outlaw shows, and more.
Watch or listen.

@EldoraSpeedway
is amazing.
Getting to sit in the same booth and observe
@Gibvoice
do his job is an experience that benefits me every time as he is the ultimate professional.
Crown cars @ Eldora are beautiful, and Midgets there are so badass it should be illegal.
More tomorrow
10 and a half hrs to Indy.
Damn, the
@usacnationals
were so awesome.
@HusetsSpeedway
is an incredible venue and I’m looking forward to the next trip there.
Got to see my little brother, call GREAT racing and eat a lot of Taco Johns. Great week.
