Zeb Wise The Latest High Limit Full Timer

December 4, 2023

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — The cast of 2024 High Rollers continues to grow, this time with the addition of one of the brightest young sprint car racers in the game today.

Fresh off a down-to-the-wire championship with the All Star Circuit of Champions, Zeb Wise will take the Rudeen Racing No. 26 to High Limit Racing full-time next year with sights set on a new title.

Wise took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his excitement.

“Let’s goooooo! Looking forward to a fun year with @HighLimitRacing and @RudeenRacing! Ready to head south and get the year started! Lots of new tracks and a lot on the line in 2024! See y’all at the track!”

After being hired by Kevin Rudeen in the summer of 2022, the Angola, Indiana native enjoyed a career-year this season. Wise rattled off 11 wins on the season, including his first-career World of Outlaws victory, and propelled the team to their first All Stars title thanks to a walk-off win at the 4-Crown Nationals.

At 21 years old, Wise has already won some of the biggest events in the sport in each division he has raced. Prior to moving into sprint cars at age 17, Wise had already topped the daunting Tulsa Shootout and earned a prestigious BC39 victory.

Next year, the Rudeen No. 26 will again produce Ford Performance power under the hood as Wise returns to six tracks on the High Limit schedule where he previously owns a win – Kokomo Speedway (Ind.), Thunderbowl Raceway (Calif.), Outlaw Speedway (N.Y.), 34 Raceway (Iowa), Eldora Speedway (Ohio), and Port Royal Speedway (Pa.).

Along with getting his first taste of several new tracks, Wise most certainly has the $26,000-to-win Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race at I-70 Motorsports Park on June 7-8 and the $100,000-to-win Skagit Nationals at Skagit (Wash.) Speedway on August 29-31 circled on his calendar – both being hallmark events for his car owner.

Wise joins Kasey Kahne, Brad Sweet and Shark Racing’s Jacob Allen as full-time High Limit drivers that have been announced.Â
