Interesting Chili Bowl Entry

Never seen Jimmy Owens race but it's good to hear that he will be there, I don't care if he is a Late Model racer. It'd be cool if Shannon Babb was there. Been several LM racers there in the past; Bloomquist, Bart Hartman, Jeep Van Wormer, Josh Richards, Rick Eckert. Don't think we'll see Richards there anymore since Smoke dropped his midget program.

It'd be fun to watch him run the alphabit into the A. Sammy is usually really fun to watch in doing that.

This may be a dumb question, but is that front bumper on that very fine looking car legal to run on small bull ring tracks or the chili bowl? Looks like a great way to pull a nice hook and run on the guy in front of you.

Actually, its not as easy as you assume. The pretzel bumper was originally designed for that purpose. However, its not a deep enough of "v" to hook the guy in front of you. But you can take a normal front bumper and give the guy in front of you a big tap and the bumper will fold into a nice "hook-n-run" front bumper.

Like Dalton stated, its for strength. We discovered this after the original customer brought it back and said it wasn't deep enough. But the bumper only had a few small dents in it after several "love taps" in a sprint car. Its the perfect front bumper for the racer who's tired of replacing front bumpers on small bullring tracks.

"Celebrity Bowl????

It has been a celebrity bowl since Day One. The first celebrity was Rich Vogler. Maybe he even had a deal to guarantee his appearance so people would come?

Do you not think Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Levi Jones, Jason Leffler, Kenny Schrader are celebrities?
