NASCAR Champion Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut

Lemme know when Larson or Bell is going to make a commitment. Rowdy can join the other 300 irrelevant racer’s

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

Maybe even as much interesting..."Busch’s debut will follow similar appearances during the USAC National Midget events at Bakersfield Speedway (November 26) and Ventura Raceway (November 30).". Will be something to see how he does in those outdoor races! I started appreciating him more once he started running Micros.

isn't it those 300 irrelevant racer's that makes this event great? :26:

I believe he’s running a team car to Larson ran by the legend Paul Silva. Should be interesting, he’s pretty decent in a micro.

Wow. Kind of a putdown to a guy that's grooming his son and has found dirt racing is helping his skills. He and the other irrelevant drivers living their dream. What's wrong with that? Their money. Was Tim McCreadie irrelevant the year he won? Are the 1600 drivers that enter the Tulsa Shootout irrelevant? 50 cars enter USAC sprint week. Are half irrelevant? Come on.

Pretty sure Silvia’s got Larson and Sunshine as his dynamic duo…Busch’s deal is being handled by Big AL Scoggins

If you follow Kyle on social media, you will see a lot of pictures of Big Al. He has been working for KBM all year on their open wheel stuff. You see him in all of the pictures of Kyle in victory lane and all of the pictures of Brexton in victory lane.

For all of the haters, Kyle won the weekly Wednesday night point championship in his Micro class at Milbridge this year. With Larson stopping his dirt racing for the NASCAR chase, I would not be surprised if the the two Kyle's had a similar number of dirt track starts this year.

Didn't see it on this site, but one of those outdoor races is Turkey Night! Thats cool!

I hope he has better luck in midgets than Chase Elliott had.

I’ll bet your mailbox will be filled with Christmas cards from the 300 other irrelevant racers! Nice job Slick!

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

Im one of those irrelevant race fans that clog up the bleachers so the real race fans have a hard time getting a good seat :D

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

I think the one you're really going to have to take serious is. RTJ.

Lot of people on the internet seem butthurt by Kyle's decision to run this. I don't know, I have a buddy who only knows anything about the Chili Bowl because of Kyle Larson. More eyes on the class can't hurt, unless your plan is for it to stay the weird little niche thing that it currently is.

I go so far as to say the best thing is that he's not going to win it. Some irrelevant local racer is going to get to go back to his sponsors afterwards and tell them he outran a 2x Cup Champion. Who knows, maybe just that will elevate him to the level of where he deserves to be there.

You taking Rowdy lightly? I wouldn't. Not with Big Al on the wrenches.

No I'm not taking him lightly. He will run respectably.

What I do know is how truly deep the field is.

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

How about Bell and Briscoe? Will Bell even run in this upcoming year?

Well apparently I’ve ruffled some feathers. I’ll tell you what, I’m not at all offended if you don’t agree with me. Maybe 300 cars make it great to you, fine, after all that’s what they get. That doesn’t make it better to me. I would be happier with the top 60 cars running 3 nights with a more controlled program, than 6 days of a bunch of cars racing that are lucky to make the C. That’s my preference, if you want to hate on me for it, go ahead. I love the Chili Bowl mostly because it’s a midget race in January that won’t get affected by weather, providing everyone can get there.

Anyone who refers to a group of racers as "irrelevant" renders their opinions as irrelevant to me. That's not hate just reality.

It's ok, Your now in a exclusive club of being Loved, or Love to hate on you.

I say the first two nights should be qualifiers for anyone who's never made a prelim or sat A main. Feature runners should then be divided into Wed-Fri programs and go back to taking four oo five from those nights to A Sat.

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

It never ceases to amaze me how every year this board lights up about the chili bowl. All of these years and we still go on about this and that. This event has grown into something that no one else has duplicated. It’s grown in size, length of time, and now televised start to finish. When something lasts as long as this event has, inevitably it must loose a touch of its luster. Yet every year there are all of those cars and all of those people. Now we banter on a choice of words describing a large majority of the field. Previously we went round and round about a guy ******** about the purse.(funny how he showed up anyway) Which then turns into how the event/week should be run. Sure there might be more money in the pot. The product was designed all of those years ago and has stood the test of time. Since it can’t happen this year, maybe next year the discussion can just be about how great this event has always been and will always be. Irrelevance is a personal feeling about a specific matter and not the description of it.

I am with you 100% on this one, FB55. I went one time and was in my seat for all the races each day as well as all the hot laps and by the time the A Main rolled off Saturday, I was exhausted and disgusted! That was when it was only five days! A three day show that has all 60 cars racing every day would get me back.

PJ, would you feel better if I said 200? If so let’s go with that 😎

I'm sure there are 100 racers relieved that they are no longer considered irrelevant.😏

Doesn't make me feel any better FWIW.

Competing at the Chili Bowl is a significant time and money commitment no matter at what level you choose to do it at. If you don't understand why it's disrespectful to refer to most of the field as irrelevant you need to work on your social intelligence.

I assume you're posting from California since the type of Midget races you say you want are happening there over the next week and a half, but I'd bet $100 to the charity of your choice you're not there either.

Easy Tiger! Do a little profile research and you will find he isn’t from Cali. Not even close. Instead of the bravado about a remark you don’t like why don’t you donate your 100$ to a car that DNQd this week. Enjoy the races!

I feel like you missed my point.

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

No, I get what Flagboy is saying 100% It's like the biggest LM event or say the BC39 running with a split field. It's not the top thirty cars on the track in the feature. If your lucky it's fifteen of em each night, but they're not competing against each other.

I'm not agreeing that all the other competitors outside maybe the top sixty are IRRELEVANT but all five nights are a diluted version of the top tier one night show. Is it still great? Yeah, It's racing, it's January and your football and hockey teams suck. SO YEAH! H*LL YEAH. and the talent level by the E mains on Saturday is unmatched save maybe Knoxville Nationals or Kings Royals.

So carry on, Everyone has their reason for being there and as pointed out. It's a commitment and big expense to do so. SO THE MORE THE MERRIER!

So I’m going to live a dream and rent a ride at the Chili Bowl. I have no shot to win anything unless I back into a heat race win. In my mind that makes ME irrelevant. I’m ok with that. As Chuck said split field is like grading on a curve. I want to watch the best race it out. Maybe we should have a “midlife crisis” night so guy’s that want to rent a ride can fulfill their dream, and I can put away Christmas decorations instead of turning on Flo

Congrats boy55 for making your dream a reality! Best of Luck! :5: :47:

With Gibbs drivers being allowed to dirt racing with the hiring of Briscoe, the other drivers Busch, Bell and Hamlin, can also go dirt racing. I have seen Kyle and his son at the US 24 track near Logansport IN racing on dirt. This is not a new dirt race for Kyle just ask Russ Gamester.

I don't see Flagboy's entry. 🤔 At least they're not sorted yet by irrelevant entries.


Chili Bowl Entry Count Reaches Century Mark For 2025 Event


Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (November 22, 2024) The anticipated 100 entry mark for the Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink has arrived in record time, and has signaled the list of Golden Driller hopefuls to go live for all the world to see.



A mixture of past feature starters, event rookies, and the king of the Chili Bowl himself, Sammy Swindell, the current list is comprised of drivers from the United States, Australia (Luke Storer), New Zealand (Mitch Fabish), and the Netherlands (Wout Hoffmans).

While the list of teams will snowball ahead of the December 6 entry deadline, several stout teams are already on the list to contend for a Golden Driller.



Among those is Alex Bowman Racing, who will bring four cars piloted by USAC stars Jake Swanson, Briggs Danner, C.J. Leary, and Kevin Thomas, Jr. in the Ally-backed entries.

A mixture of fenders and open wheel talent make up the stable for Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports, as 2024 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Castrol Flo Night in American titlist Ricky Thornton, Jr. will join Mitchel Moles and Hayden Reinbold.



A powerful team-up over the past few years, Matt Seymour, will again put Pennsylvania’s Tim Buckwalter and ASCS National Rookie of the Year, Hank Davis of Sand Springs, Okla., behind the wheel of his iconic No. 29 machines.

If anyone wants to start a go fund me, to rent me a ride at the Chili Bowl, I’ll gladly suit up to blend in with the other 200 that won’t make the C on Saturday

Ahhh.... in keeping with the theme of the thread, your 2ȼ are irrelevant, Charles. :)

Re: Kyle Busch to make Chili Bowl debut
 

Kyle looked pretty relevant last night! Yes, he just missed the transfer to the A (I gota say, I ran a lot of B-mains when they had them when we tried running National Midgets...I didn't really know people cared about the B-mains; til we quit having them; and you kept hearing "there was no B-main tonight" - so it must be relevant...), and was leading a legitimately leading a USAC heat!

https://www.floracing.com/collection...aying=13099738

After digging through several articles, finally found out what went wrong with Kyle's midget. All the articles never wanted to focus on what the problem was. Too bad, he qualified well and was running off in his heat. Here was a clip of the article:

This was Rowdy’s debut run at the USAC Nationals, and it looked to be a promising night as he qualified 18th out of the 36 entries. He fired off strong in the heat race as well and took charge of the race, but after 2 laps his midget car lost power. As it turns out, the batteries on his race car had connection issues that forced him out of the race. He had a chance to bounce back in the 12-lap semi-final feature, but despite working his way up to fifth spot, he wasn’t able to make the transfer.

FYI the Chili Bowl is a non-winged event. All your favorites can be seen elsewhere. I Prefer the irrelevants like Grant and Seavey, who run real man sprint cars and then go win the 2024 Chili Bowl.
