I was responding to your last line about only one of the nine racing LM and he did it for fun. I was adding a second driver who did the same. As for your ribbing me, I understand, but not every time I say something. It kind of stymies any real conversation.

Sorry you feel that way, power. Just havin' a little fun and givin' ya' a little elbow to the ribs is all.Originally posted by TS FAN View Postman, you are obnoxious. I hope you are not that way in person.
I figured you'd have all those dates and achievements committed to memory, especially in regards to stewy.

Originally posted by CIRF View PostWhat types of cars did both concentrate their efforts on and in what type cars were they driving when they won championships in when they got noticed? Here's a hint, it wasn't dirt late models.
Schrader won the 1982 USAC Silver Crown Championship and the 1983 USAC Sprint car championship and he was the USAC Stock Car division rookie of the year in 1980. He also drove some midgets back in those days as well but never won the championship. Schrader did very little, if any, dirt late model racing prior to leasing Elmo Langley's Cup car in 1984 and ultimately catching on with Junie Dunlavey in 1985.
stewys path to Indy Car was paved with his focus and success in USAC Silver Crown, USAC sprint cars and USAC midgets. He was the USAC National Midget Champion in 1994 & '95. The success in USAC propelled him to getting an IRL ride in 1996. Winning the 1997 IRL championship got him a ride with Gibbs in 1999. stewy's frequent foray's into dirt late model racing did not parallel his USAC carreer. He was racing full time in all 3 National divisions of USAC. He has ran a dirt late a fair amount but it wasn't during his full time USAC days. If he drove dirt late's during his USAC days or before it was rare.
Come on mr. stewart head!! You should know this stuff!!
Are ya' ready to man up and come clean as to what your beef with Jimmie is? LOLOL!!!
man, you are obnoxious. I hope you are not that way in person.

CIRF you forgot to add to your buddy above that Stewart was a USAC Triple Crown winner along with JJ Yeley.
But surely the big Stewart fan would know this little known fact right?? LOL!!
Willing to bet when/if Stewart puts out a schedule for 2017 it will be highly dominated by open wheel races. Probably at least 8-10 open wheel events to 1 late model event. And i'll go out on a limb and say he will not race in any events at his track Eldora in either division for the same reason he's not running the Chili Bowl this year.Last edited by ClampedUp; 12-29-2016, 02:41 PM.

Ken Schrader and Stewart both raced DLM quite oftenOriginally posted by CIRF View PostKenny 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.Originally posted by formercrewguy View PostChili is a Texas thing.......not an Oklahoma thing. But then many people,myself included, refer to Texas as "Baja Oklahoma".
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.

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.

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.Originally posted by mudslinger47 View PostYour 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....
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!!
