Interesting first timer, never thought id see a "Nightmare" at the Chili Bowl

That is definitely a different marketing strategy.

Makes sense to me. He just opened up that market again. I know late model people that didn't watch the Chili Bowl before McCreadie, and now add more in, and it'll grow even more.

Anybody remember a few years back when Joey Saldana ran Woodwards car and it had CART, and Ford/Cosworth on it?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I like the idea of versatile drivers much more then the closed mindedness of ______-racing is the only form of racing mentality! The only thing the internet has created is a sense of self importance by way of ignorance. Jimmy Owens seems to be a pretty good guy. Glad someone has the sense to cross promote and hopefully make some new fans for late models and midgets.

The Chili Bowl has turned into a celebrity Bowl.

they still have to race their way in though.

Jimmy Owens is a RACER. I've been a fan of his since I first watched him in a UMP modified. By the way, he's a good guy.

Owens is a heck of a racer, not like some one is sticking Danica or Dale Jr in a car. I'm all for the late model, modified, winged guys etc. racing. Not like it's 20 cars showing up for 20 spots, you only make the A-main at Chili Bowl by EARNING it.

It cracks me up how some people only seem to come on here to
***** or belittle racers they don't like. If Jimmy owens is in the
A-Main at the Chili Bowl on Saturday night he will have earned it.
If your favorite driver doesn't make it then tough s#*t, either he
just wasn't good enough or wasn't lucky enough but don't bad mouth
Owens for getting a shot in the Chili Bowl.

Owens will do just fine out there. He probably (odds are) won't make the A but it's one more quality shoe getting the chance to roll the dice a little bit. That's about all it is really. I'm glad to hear he's going.
