These Drivers Ran The Most Races in 2023

With all of the High Limit announcements over the past few days, a lot of focus has turned to which drivers could potentially run the series in 2024. Rumors have been circulating about some World of Outlaws drivers making the switch, but we already know those guys can afford to run a full time national schedule. The real question is who can manage a national schedule that did not run one in 2023?

The truthful answer is not many.

In 2023, only a handful of drivers ran a comparable amount of races to the World of Outlaws schedule. Some of these drivers are PA Posse members, who have a luxury of running a lot of races without the burden of travel. Others were the usual suspects we would see during mid-week High Limit shows and every other major race. We know that the High Limit schedule will be around 50-60 races, so let’s see who ran that many in 2023.

Driver	Races	Wins
Buddy Kofoid	87	5
Danny Dietrich	86	6
Anthony Macri	80	8
Justin Peck	78	2
Sam Hafertepe Jr	77	1
Riley Goodno	77	1
Parker Price-Miller	75	1
Brent Marks	74	13
Cole Macedo	74	1
Devon Borden	73	7
Rico Abreu	71	13
Cory Eliason	70	2
Freddie Rahmer	68	17
Chase Randall	67	4
Sye Lynch	66	0
Brian Brown	64	7
Lucas Wolfe	64	2
Ayrton Gennetten	61	5
Kyle Reinhardt	61	3
Skylar Gee	60	3
Austin Bishop	60	0
Ryan Timms	59	2
Bill Balog	54	9

Based on the High Limit press conference yesterday, it sounded like FloRacing was really interested in finding the sport’s next big star. Do we already know who that is? We know Corey Day is going to be a name that both the Outlaws and High Limit will be going after. Day’s name isn’t on this list, but that’s because California doesn’t have a huge 410 schedule and because he was not old enough to compete in certain races. His car owner, Jason Meyers, is a former World of Outlaw champion. Does that mean he will be loyal to the Outlaws? Or will Corey stay put in California for another year and make a late season trip to the Midwest like he did in 2023?

Chase Randall is another name that comes up when talking about rising stars. He was at nearly every big even in the sprint car world in 2023, and I don’t think that will change in 2024. We can rule Randall out from a national series, as it was confirmed that he would be running a similar schedule to last season.

That leaves us with Ryan Timms. Timms really jumped into the 410 sprint car scene in 2022, but didn’t enjoy the same success in 2023. He still managed to run nearly 60 races while chasing a national midget championship. I am not sure what Ryan’s plans are for 2024, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was back behind the wheel of a KKM midget. If not, he could be the guy that High Limit is looking for.

When looking over the list, Devon Borden could be a wild card here. He has a strong team behind him and he really made a name for himself this year banging the boards at Port Royal. As usual, it all comes down to funding and if this team can really afford to make a West Coast push with a national series. Borden is one of the most exciting young drivers in the country and would be a prime candidate for High Limit.

Other than that, I am not sure who will want to change their schedule for 2024. If Kyle Reinhardt can pair up with the Grove no. 45 again and work something out, he could be another full-timer. Reinhardt was strong in that car at the end of the All Star season. He also picked up a big win at Bridgeport behind the wheel of his own no. 91. Kyle was full time with the All Stars in 2022, but it would be a huge commitment to sign on for a High Limit schedule.

As more details continue to come out, I will continue to follow along. I have my eyes on the Vermeer no. 55 team and the Crouch Motorsports no. 11 team. Neither team has confirmed a driver for 2024 and we know that they both can manage a national schedule. Finding a capable driver that is willing to run a 70+ race schedule is another story.

Hunter Schuerenberg, who started 2023 with the Vermeer no. 55, has not confirmed his plans but I do not see it being either one of those rides. The same can be said about Cory Eliason, who was behind the wheel of the Crouch no. 11 for most of 2023. Eliason has been spending the end of 2023 driving the RSR no. 8, a car we usually see Aaron Reutzel in. Both Eliason and Reutzel will be driving a RSR car to close out the season. Could we see one of them sign on to be a full timer? If the Vermeer team decides to move on from Kerry Madsen, who could fill the seat?

Statistically, not many drivers who run a national schedule or have ran one in the past fit the bill. Bill Balog had a great 2023 season after a disappointing one with the All Stars in 2022. Justin Sanders ran well in the Macri no. 39m, but has a good thing going with his California team. Parker Price-Miller has been behind the wheel of multiple rides, but can’t seem to find the perfect match. Cale Thomas, Garet Williamson, Sye Lynch and Cap Henry all put together strong 2023 campaigns, but was it enough to grab the attention of a prominent car owner?

The 2023 sprint car season was a wild one, but I somehow think we could be in for even more drama before 2024 even begins.
