Kyle Larson returns to Eldora for High Limit Racing’s Double Down Duel$ on Wednesday

Kyle Larson wheels into Eldora Speedway Wednesday night as co-owner of High Limit Racing for the Double Down Duel$, the marquee sprint-car opener of Kings Royal week.

What’s happening Wednesday

On 16 Jul 2026, Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing fires up the half-mile dirt at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The Double Down Duel$ splits 60-plus top sprint-car pilots into two 25-lap features, each paying $12,000 to the winner. Every point scored Wednesday also sets Thursday’s Joker’s Jackpot starting grid, so positions carry extra weight beyond the cash.

Why Kyle Larson is in the spotlight

Larson, the defending Joker’s Jackpot champion, returns to a track he knows well. The 2021 Cup title holder balances Hendrick Motorsports duties with sprint-car weekends, and Eldora ranks among his favorites. Fresh off a Cup race Monday and a World of Outlaws sprint outing Tuesday, Larson chases another Eldora victory to keep his dirt momentum alive before Kings Royal weekend.

Who else is in the field

Corey Day, the 2025 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series rookie standout, joins Larson as the other marquee name. Day, 24, is turning heads while splitting time between dirt and Hendrick’s NASCAR program. The Double Down Duel$ doubles as a proving ground: Thursday’s Joker’s Jackpot awards $100,000 to the winner, then the Kings Royal-sprint car’s crown jewel-hits Saturday night.

What’s next for Larson and fans

For Larson, the week is a rare triple threat: Monday Cup, Tuesday WoO, Wednesday Eldora, then Thursday’s $100,000 showdown. Fans can catch it all on FloRacing. With Kings Royal bragging rights on the line, this four-night Ohio swing ranks as dirt racing’s richest block of the summer.
