The car will be prepared by Silva Motorsports and Larson will have Tyler Courtney as a teammate. Courtney will race the final seven USAC National Midget races of the season with Paul Silva as well as the 2025 Chili Bowl.
Larson will be joined at Bakersfield and Ventura by Kyle Busch, who will be warming up in those events before making his Chili Bowl debut in January 2025.
Larson has victories on all three tracks. He has won three times at Merced. He won the 2019 November Classic and finished second in that race in 2020. And he has three Turkey Night Grand Prix wins with the most recent coming in 2019.
After running these three USAC Midget races, Larson will travel to Perth Australia to race in the High Limit Sprint Car Series' first events held outside of the United States.
