Jonathon Davenport Set For Debut On Thursday Jan. 12th

[CIRF]

It's a safe bet that Kyle Larson wants it more than anyone. Whether that will equate to taking home The Golden Driller remains to be seen but Larson certainly has the ingredients in place: experience, the burning desire and a racecar built and prepared by one of the best that has ever brought a racecar of any kind to a dirt race track.............Keith Kunz.

For the second year there will be a void at The Chili Bowl that can't be filled. Kevin Swindell, love him or hate him, is the standard these days by which everyone is measured at The Chili Bowl. I was never a big Kevin Swindell fan but I will once again deeply miss him racing in Tulsa. I suspect most everyone else in attendance, either in the stands or in the pit area, feels pretty much the same way.

LOL!! Just attempting to keep the dirt late model community abreast of what some of the stars of that genre' are up to.

Nasty, you don't think litey will weigh in on this, do ya'?! LOL!! It's always good for a laugh to see him frothing at the mouth! Metaphorically speaking, of course. LOL!!

CRIF that ant froth on his mouth.. he never was good at letting go down...

[Cardirt0]

CIRF did Doug Wolfgang run when he was still racing Love that guy he could race...

They don't call ole perverton "the nobbler gobbler" for nothing!!!

Sammy is the biggest A-hole motorsports has ever seen. Hopping back in a car after watching ur kid fly off in a helicopter to a hospital...

It seems as though the standard set for being "the biggest A-hole motorsports has ever seen" is based on him continuing to do something at his son's wishes and should be of none of your concern? To have an opinion is one thing, but to lynch the man over something he discussed with his family and chose to do at the families wish shows your complete lack of character and respect you continuously ignorant rambling fool.

CIRF you were right Litey took the bait and ran with it as usual lol..... I'm not so sure that is so much called frothing at the mouth down there in StLouis as much as it is Glory Hole Mouth in Litey's Case lol....

[Nasty55]

I'll go with Kyle or Rico.....

ClampedUp while i would like to see JD or T-Mac win it i've got to go with your pick's as well because they are both just that D@mn good in anything they drive... Midget's or sprint's and they are both Fearless....

[Nasty55]

F Sammy and good luck to JD but I believe we will see him in the D main or worse.

Although i'm not going to say F Sammy I will say that i'm not a big fan of the man who would knock his Grandma out of the way to get a win....

[CIRF]

Wouldn't be surprised if JD made a little noise down there. He is a pretty big dude and those cars are tiny so it's gonna be a tight fit in the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit. Love to see a DLM driver show up and cash the check!

A big block modified/dirt late model guy has won it once in the 30 years the race has been in existence so it's not unprecedented but the odds are against it.

Yes Gary, Wolfie raced The Chili Bowl. I think more than once, too. Steve Kinser also raced a midget at The Chili Bowl but it was back in the days when they could still shoe horn him into one.

I believe that is correct. According to what I've read Kevin expressed his wishes prior to being taken to De Moines from Knoxville that his Dad carry on as usual.

LOLOL!!

[calverton]

everyone has the same chance it's what they make of it that counts

[calverton]

there has been drivers alot bigger than him get in one Steve Kinser comes to mind we had a local driver years ago that was big guy and got in one

[*WEAVER*]

Bubba the love sponge somehow fit in one. I think he lost about 50 pounds though when he had that wreck.

I too wasn't a big fan of Kev's. However, he's a heck of a wheelman and the Chili Bowl hasn't been the same without him. Definitely looking forward to him being back next year! It's going to be tough for him after his accident but just getting back in the car will be good to see.

Ryan, what have you heard about Kevin's rehab progress? I haven't heard anything for a while now but it sounds as if Kevin's progress is favorable. And yes, if Kevin gets back in a racecar it would be a happy day for all of racing!

In regards to Kevin's driving ability I was not totally convinced until I watched him climb into an ARCA stock car at Springfield in which he'd had no seat time, whatsoever. He proceeded to win the 100 miler having never before seen Springfield and never driven a Cup style stock car on dirt. It may sound a bit odd but I gained a huge amount of respect for Kevin that day. What he did has been tried many times over the years and rarely has it been done.
