Doing It His Way: Chase Randall Chooses Family Operation For Full-Time High Limit Run In ’25

Story By: BRIAN WALKER / HIGH LIMIT RACING – WACO, TX – The options were plentiful for Chase Randall at the end of the 2024 season. He could’ve signed here or elected to race there, but instead chose the most meaningful opportunity – joining Kubota High Limit Racing full-time in his family-owned No. 9.

Running the family car with father Jon Randall in his corner is nothing new for “The Quickest Chicken,” however, putting together the pieces for a national touring team is. At the end of the day, it was still the decision that made the most sense for the 20-year-old Waco, Texas native.

“Towards the end of last year, I knew my intentions were to run High Limit full-time because I wanted to be on a national tour,” Randall said on his off-season decisions. “At that point, it just came down to who would I be racing for. I talked to several different teams, but nothing got finalized and I never felt too great about any of the options. My dad and I were sitting around the table one night and it turned into ‘why don’t we just do this like we used to.’ We have more financial backing and now we’re able to do this ourselves. That was early December, but the ball didn’t get rolling full speed until we got back from Australia in late January, so we’ve been working hard since.”

After securing a shop in Brownsburg, Indiana, they added Baylen Magennis – a former crew member for Rudeen Racing and Clauson-Marshall Racing – to complete the team. Now, the father and son are ready to hit the road for 60 races with Kubota High Limit Racing.

“It’s really special to have been able to do all of this with him by my side the whole way, not everyone gets to live their dreams out as a family,” he said on his relationship with his dad. “It’s a rewarding situation when you have the successes and creates some great memories traveling down the road.”

Coming from quarter midgets to micro sprints to USAC Midgets to sprint cars, Randall spent many of his formidable teenage years rapidly rising through the ranks. He made waves across 2022-23 with 20 victories in the family No. 9, which led to a shot with TKS Motorsports that lasted for over a year.

Following a second-straight Knoxville Nationals A-Main appearance in August, Randall and TKS parted ways. The Texan finished out 2024 in an assortment of rides ranging from the Tiner/Hirst No. 94, Krull No. 14H, Vielhauer No. 12X, Newton No. 16T, and Long No. 58.

Along the way, he’s been close on several occasions to standout victories against High Limit (led 19 laps at I-70 in June ’24), the World of Outlaws (led 29 laps at Huset’s in August ’24), and even a crown jewel like the Tuscarora 50 (led 26 laps at Port Royal in September ’23). Each heartbreaking defeat has only left Randall hungrier to finally check off that first big win.

“That whole first one is always the hardest saying seems pretty true,” he said. “I struggled with that a bit when I started racing at Knoxville, too. We were so fast that first year, had multiple podiums, always ran up front, but could never put a win together. Then we came back that next year and after we got the first one, we clicked two, three, four right off. Once you win that first one, I think you learn so much about your mindset and how to adapt.”

With a stout cast of 14 full-timers with Kubota High Limit Racing, Randall is setting modest expectations in 2025 knowing this is the first year in a long-term plan to build up a national team. His top goal is simply beating out Daison Pursley, Danny Sams III, and Sye Lynch for the inaugural Rookie of the Year Award.

“I think a top-10 finish in the championship is achievable and a good goal to strive for,” he added. “Hopefully, we get that first win along the way and it leads to many more.”

Set for 60 nights at 35 tracks in 20 states, Randall will return to three venues where he’s previously won at. Those being Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 13 & 15, Lake Ozark Speedway on June 25, and Lucas Oil Speedway on June 27-28 & October 15.

He’ll also visit 15 new tracks for the first time in his career with debuts incoming at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway (CA), Perris Auto Speedway (CA), Central Arizona Speedway (AZ), Vado Speedway Park (NM), Texarkana 67 Speedway (AR), Fremont Speedway (OH), Ransomville Speedway (NY), Utica-Rome Speedway (NY), Butler Motor Speedway (MI), 141 Speedway (WI), Red Cedar Speedway (WI), Florence Speedway (KY), Douglas County Dirtrack (OR), Skagit Speedway (WA), and Path Valley Speedway Park (PA).

“I’m excited to get back out to Pennsylvania,” he said on the 2025 schedule. “I haven’t been out there too much, but the races I did run I felt comfortable, fast, and I liked the tracks. California will be fun, too, those are totally opposite ends of the spectrum, but I enjoy both styles.”

Randall’s 2025 campaign with Kubota High Limit Racing will begin at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with a two-day event on March 13 and 15. The 60-race tour will conclude with All-In Championship Weekend at Texas Motor Speedway on October 17 and 18.
