2015 Chili Bowl Nationals

One of the first big events of the 2015 racing season starts with the Chili Bowl at the Tulsa Expo Raceway in Oklahoma. Last year, Bryan Clauson snapped Kevin Swindell's streak of 4 straight Chili Bowl wins. Can Clauson go for 2 in a row, or will Kevin Swindell tie his father Sammy at 5 Chili Bowl wins, or maybe someone else could claim the throne? The main races will be held Saturday January 17th.

Entry list can be found here: http://www.chilibowl.com/entries/manual.aspx?c=1191

Now because there are 327 entries, I'm going to go ahead and list who I consider to be notable drivers in this year's festivities.

00 - Cole Custer
05W - Kenny Wallace
1 - Sammy Swindell (5-time winner)
1ST- JJ Yeley
7T - Tanner Berryhill
15X - Chad Boat
17 - Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
17KT- Ryan Ellis
21S - Joey Saldana
22 - John Heydenreich (1990 winner)
24 - Tracy Hines (2005 winner)
39 - Kevin Swindell (4-time winner)
47X - Tim McCreadie (2006 winner)
63 - Bryan Clauson (2014 winner)
67RW - Sarah Fisher
69 - AJ Fike
71K - Kyle Larson
71L - Damion Gardner (2008 winner)
97 - Rico Abreu

Out of all of them, I never expected Sarah Fisher.

I hope she does well.

>Decent Speedcar scene in Australia.
>not one single Australian in the field.

Guess I've got to go for Pickens again.

The first of four qualifying nights is over. Kyle Larson won the night's A-Feature, which puts him in the A-Main on Saturday. Larson had trouble in his heat race, which left him starting sixth in a C-Feature. But after winning both the C-Feature and B-Feature, he moved into today's top event and won. In addition to Larson transferring into Saturday's Chili Bowl, second place Brad Loyet and third place Spencer Bayston will transfer too.

Rico Abreu wins!!!! Kevin Swindell comes up short of #5 and gets 2nd

Not to make fun of small people but the midget driver just won the biggest midget race of the year. MIDGETCEPTION

As for @1sam91. He thinks he can bully people out there. Running into my teammate and trying to intentional wreck him. I'm fed up with it...

(So looks like Sammy made a lot of people mad)

Edit : Yup... just got worse
Kyle Larson
@KyleLarsonRacin
I'm know it won't be our last run in and I'm not worried about it. I'm sure by next year he'll be even more blind than he is now.

Saw that on twitter. What the hell happened for Sammy Swindell to piss off people left and right? It's not like Swindell is some young buck trying to prove something, he is an old vet that should know what he is doing.

For what i get, tonight's incident revolved around him believing he got wrecked by Larson...The hilarious truth is he was wrecked by his son in actuality.

Maybe when he was trying to hit the 71 (Not Larson, the other one) during a caution period, it seemed to me they were sorting out a spot on the track, but guess there's more to it.
