Watch Live 2026 High Limit Racing at Santa Maria Speedway Suddenly forming over the winter in late 2023, Rod and Nancy Gross of York, Pennsylvania helped send Thorson on the road full-time with a national touring winged sprint car series for the first time in his career when High Limit went national in 2024. Since then, the Minden, Nevada has racked up 116 feature starts (fourth-most) and scored 59 top-10 finishes, 23 top-five runs, and six total victories with Rod and Nancy as his owners. Operated out of a Broken Arrow, Oklahoma shop near Tanner and Shaylee Thorson's residence, Jason and Shantel Tessier of JST Motorsports have transitioned from friends to sponsors to owners of the #88 team. They'll continue to run shop as normal with crew members Brinton Marvel and T.J. Nichols, plus father-in-law Stevie Smith offering his wealth of knowledge from afar.
