Lucas
Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals Saturday
Feature Lineups
Lonnie
Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (January 17, 2009)
– Twenty-three championship feature
events dipping as far into the alphabet as
Twin "L" Mains seems almost
beyond comprehension.
It's
set to happen though on Saturday, as a
record 281 competitors from throughout the
nation and beyond will sling the clay at
the QuikTrip Center's Tulsa Expo Raceway
in pursuit of the coveted Golden Driller
trophy that will be awarded to the winner
of the 23rd Annual Lucas Oil
Chili Bowl Midget Nationals presented by
General Tire.
It
has taken four full nights of qualifying
competition to set Saturday's championship
feature grid.
And those four nights included a
whopping total of 72 races amounting to
764 hair-raising laps to set the stage for
Saturday's finale.
Brad
Kuhn, Sammy Swindell, Tracy Hines and
Jerry Coons, Jr., each collected feature
wins to earn starting positions among the
front two rows of Saturday night's 50-lap
finale, with Hines drawing the pole
position.
While
Hines hopes to join the elite ranks of
multi-time Chili Bowl winners that
includes only Sammy Swindell, Tony
Stewart, Cory Kruseman and Dan Boorse,
Friday night winner Coons takes aim on his
first Golden Driller.
Four-time
Chili Bowl king Swindell grids the feature
field inside the second row with 50
perilous laps standing between himself and
a perfect Chili Bowl experience after
winning Tuesday's Race of Champions and
then sweeping Wednesday night's card.
Tuesday
night feature winner Brad Kuhn starts
outside the second row as he tries for his
first Chili Bowl triumph.
The
second and third place finishers from each
night drew for their starting positions in
Saturday's "A" Main, with each
winner's draw dictating the balance of
Saturday's feature lineups in which the
remaining 269 racers try to fill the 12
remaining feature slots.
Defending
race winner Damion Gardner begins his day
inside row four of the First "C"
Main in his bid to become the first
back-to-back winner in Chili Bowl
Nationals history.
Those
locked into the main event, and their
Chili Bowl backgrounds, include:
Tracy
Hines (New Castle, IN) – The 2005 Chili
Bowl champ makes his 11th
championship finale in 13 attempts and has
finished among the top ten over each of
the past five years.
Jerry
Coons, Jr.
(Tucson, AZ) – Makes his 10th
championship start in 12 tries, a
seventh-place finish in 1999 is the best
of two top-tens for the now two-time Chili
Bowl prelim winner.
Sammy
Swindell
(Germantown, TN) – The most decorated in
Chili Bowl history with four wins and
eleven top-tens, although his last win
came in 1998 and his last top-ten was a
third-place showing in 2001.
Makes an event record 16th
championship feature start in 19 tries as
the likely odds-on favorite after dominant
performances earlier in the week.
Brad
Kuhn (Avon, IN) – A preliminary feature
winner for the second year in a row is set
for his fourth consecutive main event
start with a drive from deep in the field
to finish fourth in 2006 his most
successful effort thus far.
Levi
Jones (Olney, IL) – The two-time USAC
Sprint Car champ is ready for his second
championship final in a row in his fifth
Chili Bowl try after making his way from
"C" Main action to finish 11th
last year.
J.J.
Yeley (Phoenix, AZ) – With no taste for
alphabet soup this year, the USAC Triple
Crown champ makes his sixth Chili Bowl
championship start with hopes of bettering
podium finishes of third in 2004 and
second in 2007.
Dave
Darland (Lincoln,
NE) – One of three USAC Triple Crown
champs to lock in along with Coons and
Yeley, Darland makes his 11th
main event start in eleven tries and
shoots for his first Golden Driller after
finishing second last year.
Ricky
Stenhouse, Jr. (Olive
Branch, MS) – Missed the Tuesday night
win by just a few feet, but still makes
his first Chili Bowl championship feature
start after some quick travels in between
for NASCAR Nationwide testing.
Jon
Stanbrough (Avon,
IN) – Makes his fifth consecutive
championship feature start after posting a
top finish of fifth last year.
Justin
Allgaier (Cornelius,
NC) – A third-place Chili Bowl finisher
two years ago, the Illinois native makes
his third championship feature start after
collecting ARCA/ReMax hardware in 2008.
Steve
Buckwalter (Royersford,
PA) – Ready for his fourth championship
start in eight tries, his best finish thus
far is an 11th-place run in
2007.
Brad
Loyet (Sunset Hills,
MO) – The 2007 POWRi Midget champion
cracks the Chili Bowl championship
"A" Main for the first time
after narrowly missing out twice in the
past three years.
Saturday's
slate of Chili Bowl championship main
events gets under way with the first of
Twin "L" Mains at 11:45 a.m.
