Christopher Bell wins Thursday night at the Chili Bowl

Jubilation might be an understatement when describing Chili bowl Victory Lane during Tuesday’s Warren CAT Qualifying Night, as Sapulpa’s Blake Hahn captured his first career JST Motorsports Preliminary A-Feature win.  Richard Bales

 

 

Taking over as the winningest driver in preliminary night competition, defending Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink champion, Kyle Larson, rolled fourth to first for his ninth career preliminary night win during Monday’s 2nd Opinion Auto Center Qualifying Night.   Michael Fry

Going back-to-back with Wednesday York Plumbing and Mechanical Qualifying Night Chili Bowl wins, Emerson Axsom delivered big in traffic, as well as holding off the many challenges of Daison Pursley. Richard Bales

  

Chaos reigned, and so did Logan Seavey, who landed his fourth JST Motorsports preliminary A-Feature win in as many years during Hard Rock Hotel Casino Tulsa Qualifying Night at the 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink.      Buck Monson

Say What!

“I won’t believe this until next year, or until I see my name on that trophy with everyone else that’s won this race,” Emerson Axsom winning the 40th Annual Chili Bowl

 I didn't really know where my opportunity was going to come. I went from 3rd to the lead to 4th and felt like a blink of an eye. Justin slid me, and I looked up, and I was in 4th real quick, so I had to kind of settle back in and make a few minor adjustments with my car.” Logan Seavey winning Chili Bowl Friday night

 “I didn’t think I was going to get there,When the yellow came out, I didn’t know how far away those guys were, but I really just didn’t have the pace, and everyone was really committed to the top, and I wasn’t able to keep up, so when the yellow came out, I knew I was going to have to do something different.” Christopher Bell winning Chili Bowl Thursday night

“I tried to show the good lapped cars and nose a couple times, and unfortunately, those guys wouldn't budge, which is fair enough; you've got to run your own race,” Emerson Axsom winning Chili Bowl Wednesday night

“With all my friends and family here, it means the world, so I’m living my dream come true right now,I’m just thankful to be here; it’s just crazy to think I’ve only run a midget just two or three times this year, so I’m just happy to be here.” Blake Hahn winning Chili Bowl Tuesday night

“Thought it was pretty similar track prep before the Race of Champions. I thought the bottom would live a little bit longer than it did in the Race of Champions, which it did. I was just surprised they didn’t move up in front of me until they caught traffic, Just worked out in my favor. Track position is really important when you have four or five good guys up front, and it’s who can get the lead the quickest.” Kyle Larson winning Chili Bowl Monday night
