Vacuworx
International Sponsors Chili Bowl Race of
Champions
 Lonnie
Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (December 2, 2009)
– A new facet was added to the Chili
Bowl Nationals in 2009 in the form of the
Inaugural Chili Bowl Race of Champions.
Now,
with an assist from Vacuworx
International, the Second Annual Chili
Bowl Race of Champions will make the
Tuesday, January 12, opener of the 24th
Annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals at
the QuikTrip Center's Tulsa Expo Raceway a
must-see event for any race fan.
Vacuworx
International, a Tulsa-based world leader
in vacuum lifting for field applications,
has signed on as title sponsor for the
Chili Bowl Race of Champions, an
invitational race that pits past race
winners and other top perennial event
contenders.
Headquartered
in Tulsa, OK, Vacuworx International is
celebrating its tenth anniversary this
year.
Vacuworx is the world leader in
vacuum lifting for field applications and
the originator of this product.
The Vacuworx lifting system is a
self contained vacuum lifter that attaches
to a host of machines such as excavators,
cranes, wheel loaders, and fork lifts just
to name a few.
It is controlled by the equipment
operator remotely from the safety of the
host machine, eliminating the need for any
additional personnel or placing anyone in
harm's way. Companies are reporting
increases of seven to 12 times faster than
traditional material handling methods by
using the Vacuworx system and achieving
this with less personnel and no damage to
the material or any type of coating.

Vacuworx is available at www.vacuworx.com.
In the 2009
edition of the Chili Bowl, Sammy Swindell
kicked off his successful pursuit of an
unprecedented fifth Golden Driller trophy
by besting the 14-car Race of Champions
field. Swindell went on to post a perfect Chili Bowl experience by
winning his heat race, qualifying race and
"A" Feature in Wednesday's
qualifying action and then finishing it
off with a triumph in Saturday's 50-lap
finale.
Swindell
fought off a late bid from 2006 Chili Bowl
winner Tim McCreadie to win the inaugural
Vacuworx Race of Champions, with other
competitors including Dave Darland, Jay
Drake, J.J. Yeley, Kasey Kahne, Tony
Elliott, Scott Hatton, Jason Leffler,
Tracy Hines, Damion Gardner, Steve
Buckwalter, Johnny Heydenreich and Cory
Kruseman.
Buckwalter and Elliott were voted
into the field by the fans.
A
limited number of tickets remain for the
Tuesday night, January 12, Warren CAT
Qualifying event that includes the Second
Annual Vacuworx International Chili Bowl
Race of Champions.
Tickets are available for just $26

The
Tuesday night spectacular kicks off five

Raceway clay oval, set for January 12-16,
