Abreu title
Abreu closed the 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing season with a second straight championship, finishing 31 points ahead of Giovanni Scelzi and Spire Motorsports. The title wrapped a 54-race schedule that stretched across 19 states and ended with a championship awards celebration at Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall in Fort Worth, Texas. Abreu’s repeat run gave the series a clear centerpiece to its season finale, and it came as High Limit Racing prepared to divide more than $3 million in postseason payouts and bonuses among its 15 teams. That money underscores how much the championship carries beyond the trophy itself. Abreu delivered enough to stay on top again when the final points were tallied. The margin over Scelzi and Spire Motorsports gives the championship race a firm finish, with Abreu standing alone at the top after another full tour through the country.
Tanner Holmes awards
The awards celebration also put a spotlight on Holmes. He left the event with four honors, taking Most Improved Driver, Move of the Year, Most Popular Driver and the Rayce Rudeen Foundation of the Year award. That collection of recognition highlighted Holmes’ role in the celebration. The Most Improved Driver award pointed to a step forward across the season. Move of the Year gave Holmes a single moment of distinction within the broader campaign. Most Popular Driver reflected the response from the fan base, and the Rayce Rudeen Foundation of the Year honor tied his season to the charitable side of the sport. High Limit Racing also named Ricky Warner Crew Chief of the Year, giving the team side of the paddock its own top honor. Taken together, the awards painted a full picture of the championship year, with drivers and teams part of the celebration that closed the campaign. The ceremony did more than crown a champion. It recognized the people who shaped the season from start to finish.
Perth Motorplex event
High Limit Racing now turns to High Limit International at the venue in Western Australia, the next stop on its schedule. The event gives the series an international stage after a domestic season that covered 19 states and ended with a title celebration in Texas. The program carries real weight on the purse side, too. The preliminaries will pay $20,000 to win, and the finale will offer a record $120,000 AUD. That top prize sets a new benchmark for the event and gives the final night a clear headline of its own. The combination of an overseas venue and a record-paying finale gives the final night a different feel from the championship awards night that just passed, but the through line stays the same. High Limit Racing continues to build its profile with a mix of competition, recognition and prize money that stretches from one end of the calendar to the next.
