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!

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.

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!

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.
