Blasting around early leader Buddy Kofoid on the lap-15 restart and fending off Australian favorite Dayne Kingshott down the stretch, Kyle Larson came to life aboard the Jason Pryde-owned #1k machine in the second half of the 35-lap feature to capture his second straight High Limit International crown at the world class venue.

Kingshott, who led the opening six laps before finishing a half second behind Larson, took the two-time event champ down to the wire with a battered #2 Krikke Motorsport machine that had wing damage, nerf bar damage and a worn-out right-rear tyre, nearly landing a pair of sliders on the final restart with two laps remaining.

Pole-starting Buddy Kofoid led laps 7-14 and never contended for the victory following the lap-15 restart where Larson snatched the lead with a fourth-to-first move. Corey Day had Larson in cross hairs over the final laps, erasing a 1.5-second deficit with nine laps remaining to challenge after a series of sliders with five laps to go.

But after slapping the wall one too many times in furious pursuit of Larson along the high side, Day’s right-rear tyre blew out on the final restart with two laps remaining. The 2025 High Limit Racing champ Rico Abreu failed to finish as his engine expired with three laps remaining.
