No Larson at the Chili Bowl!

Yeah he's been entered in that race since before he started this rant about chili bowl should pay more.
Those in the know have been calling BS the whole time.
If he still hadn't won the event he would be there,but since he has 2 wins he can go try and win at a track he never has.Fine
He's not the 2022 defending champ anyway.
So a bigger question is will Tanner have a ride for 2023 chili bowl to defend his win.

Crowds were not good at many of the races I attended this year, especially at the bigger tracks. The Chili Bowl will still sell out this year but it is definitely a black eye and now a lot of non-open wheel fans will view it as just another low paying non-wing open wheel race.

Yea, it hurts a bit, but by no means fatal, or even critical condition....

Has Stewart not participating hurt Chili bowl? NO

Did Kinser not participating hurt Chili Bowl? NO.

No will Larsons.

The Chili bowl is international. I doubt some LM race in AZ will be. at least not on any level close to CB.

As A.J. Foyt once said when referring to the Indianapolis 500, “no driver is bigger than the race.” Sure, everyone would love to see him at the Chili Bowl, but there will still be more than 300 other drivers putting on a show. Both races will do fine.

Racing has long had racers that have raised to the level of opinion. A.J,Foyt, Dale Earnhardt Senior, Tony Stewart,now Kyle Larson (there are plenty others list them if you want). When they reach a point when fans watch them closely and listen to what they have to say it is news. Lots of fans disliked the way Stewart did some things or what he said, but in the end Tony wound up as a real asset to racing. He sends his plane to help families who lost members in accidents and so forth. Larson is just reaching the level of super star where he will stay for a long time give him a chance to express his feelings.

Stevensville, I think we can arrange that! Actually, this might offend someone but, I would rather lose 200 car’s that have almost no chance to even make the main than a couple that could win it.

Why are you hating on New Mexico? The home of the Unsers!

Yes, it is amazing that I don't have a thicker accent.

You know it is one of the 50 states.
