Congrats Christopher Bell, Chili Bowl Thoughts, 6 Nights In 2019
Congrats to C. Bell on his second Chili Bowl Championship. 2 in a row, actually. Larson seemed to be in control till he blew the motor. Maybe next year.
The first 3 prelim nights racing begged the question as to whether it’s possible to see any better racing. Friday prelim night lacked track prep quality in comparison but still decent racing. Larson’s blown engine in the Saturday night A-main deprived us as fans the racing that was surely going to ensue late in that race.
Another incredible week of racing and I might get accused of being open wheel arrogant but the drivers this event draws are the best dirt drivers in the world and it shows every night! The moves some of them make appear to defy logic and basic physics.
No way of knowing just how big this event will get but it hasn’t peaked yet. This years racing won't expedite any peak in interest. Simply put The Chili Bowl is a mega dirt show and looks to stay that way!!
