Where is the NASCAR CHAMPION LOL

[mudslinger47]

or the 97 for 20k at the dome b this year the crowd for 3 nights was as big or close as big as 5 nights in Tulsa

For seating purposes, Tulsa needs to move to St. Louis.......

[Clayton_Wetter]

but you haven't answered the question your highly touted chumpion was not invited to this event now why is that

We really don't give a sh!t!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaaaa

[CIRF]

and out of the 300 that register for the midget show, there probably aren't 30 name drivers either.... and less then that capable of winning... I have read that Bloomer won't leave his shop for less then a 20G show.... makes sense to me, he'll do the promoter more good then the promoter will do him....

The midgets run with us on occasion and there are rarely more the 10 to 14 cars on a normal night... on special shows then the numbers jump up....

That midget show you speak of is one of the two biggest and best dirt racing events of the year and it's The Chili Bowl to you mr. late model head!!! LOL!! Car count, attendance and TV exposure makes the World Hundred look somewhat small in comparison.

The entry list has gone WAY North of 300, it's at 358 and growing at this point.

Please enlighten us as to who exactly is capable of winning The Chili Bowl!! This oughta' be good!

Ol' snort bloomquist sure as hell left the shop for less than $20 grand to try and win The Chili Bowl a few years ago and it wasn't pretty! One of the most embarrassing racing endeavors of ol' snort's career was when he tried his hand at The Chili Bowl. He got spanked and sent back to Tennessee and his big, slow, cumbersome late model plenty quick. Kinda' like his foray into ARCA racing and the NASCAR truck fiasco. Bbbbbbwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha!!!!

For seating purposes, Tulsa needs to move to St. Louis.......

You mean move the whole city of Tulsa to St. Louis? LOL!! That'd be a big move.

I'm pretty sure the people in charge of The Chili Bowl will keep it right where it's at. You don't mess with something as successful and wildly popular as The Chili Bowl.

are you so sure about that oh yeah look up Justin Allgaier for me and he a fair driver where did Bowyer come from most DLM guys want to race 36 or 38 races would be considered mid season for some

Again, no self respecting late model driver would EVER want to make the money and get the recognition that comes with a Cup ride.......said no one ever!! LOL!

Your comprehension skills are remarkably low this time of year.... but hey no problem, you go and enjoy your go karts and I'll go and enjoy my mud taxies, got six shows in 9 days coming up in two weeks... I suspect there will be 60+ cars there at the shoot out... difference between the two shows, we'll have close to 60 top shelf racers and you'll still have about 20 racers and 330 also rans....

Alliagair Bowyer and Edwards weren't that much on dirt but they made it cup it doesn't matter what class they started in yeah tell that also some of your open wheel drivers like Schatz and Saldana why they are not in nascrap I f a drivers goal is to be in NASCAR you don'tstart in dirt racing you big dummy you start at a aspalt track running some but a midget or sprint or DLM that's a long shot

[calverton]

mud there are 2 races that cirf even comprehends on ,Indy and the chili bowl all other events means nothing to him

My comprehension skills are plenty good enough to figure out we'll be witnessing a dirt racing icon event that captivates the attention of the whole racing world for the better part of a week. Draws 350 cars and 15,000-16,000 spectators for 5 straight nights. Not just small niche following.

The difference between the two shows, besides the wide and obvious popularity gap, is that the winner of The Chili Bowl will be heralded nation wide. The exposure of winning it can literally legitimize, and in some cases make a career, as it did Billy Boat, Donnie Beechler, Tim McCreadie, Kevin Swindell and Rico Abreu.

What you're gonna' be watching will be some nice events but winning them are hardly a blip on the Richter scale of the dirt racing world.

And I also have adequate comprehension skills to recognize the fact that many of the "go cart" drivers were good enough to have gone on to respectable, and sometimes legendary careers in higher forms of racing competition. A few, like Rico and Christopher Bell are just getting started and Kyle Larson has already made his mark. Dirt late models? Not so much. LOL!!

Hey cirf ole bloomer don 't need that Lil trophy or 10 k

[CIRF]

If bloomy had won The Chili Bowl it would have been, by far, the biggest, most significant, most prestigious win of his career. He just wasn't up to the task.

[calverton]

bull chit cirf he has nothing to prove

[calverton]

Chili is a Texas thing.......not an Oklahoma thing. But then many people,myself included, refer to Texas as "Baja Oklahoma".

[CIRF]

I f a drivers goal is to be in NASCAR you don'tstart in dirt racing you big dummy you start at a aspalt track running some but a midget or sprint or DLM that's a long shot

Kenny Schrader, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, Dave Blaney, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell and Rico Abreu among others are all evidence to the contrary. Among that group there are 7 Cup championships and countless Cup wins, not to mention Bell and Larson winning in trucks on dirt. Only one of those nine drivers ever raced a dirt late model and he did it as a way to have some fun during his NASCAR years.

fcg, the name Chili Bowl comes from the original sponsor of the event, the Chili Bowl food company.

Here's a bit of history of one of the two biggest dirt events of the year:






The Chili Bowl Midget Nationals...since 1987
Two weeks after Christmas, the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals arrives like a gift from Santa Claus. In the Oklahoma metropolis of Tulsa, "Santa" is Emmett Hahn and Lanny Edwards, organizers of the four-night race meet since its 1987 inception.

The Chili Bowl Midget Nationals...

Initially sponsored by the Chili Bowl food company of Bob Berryhill, these Nationals are known simply as The Chili Bowl: racing's winter answer to football's Super Bowl.

It accommodates over four hundred race rigs, bleachers for thousands of people and an ever-growing trade show. To stroll the aisles of Tulsa's QuikTrip Center, the home of The Golden Driller, is to rub shoulders with champions from across America.

The presence of Sprint talent such as five-time Chili Bowl winner Sammy Swindell and NASCAR stars like Kyle Larson is what elevates Midget competition to a level unmatched.

The Chili Bowl's key ingredient is the clay which once covered the adjacent fairgrounds. Without sun or wind to harm it, the indoor garden (roughly a quarter-mile circle) is heavily saturated so that the boldest dirt track artists of our time can truly shine. The benchmark came in 1994 when the Jones brothers, P.J. and Page, went three-abreast for the lead with eventual winner Andy Hillenburg, a hometown hero from Broken Arrow who commands the loudest fan reaction.

It is this action which fills every corner for 55 laps that keeps people coming back. When more than 15,000 spectators walk out the door on the fifth and final night, they are so amazed at what they have seen that they cannot wait to return.
