Chili Bowl Entry Update -- December 13
TULSA, Okla. (December 13, 2005) -- The current count for the 20th Annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, to be contested at Tulsa Expo Raceway on January 11-14, 2006, has climbed to a record 255 pre-entries.
Among the latest entries are former USAC Silver Crown champion Paul White of Temple, TX, and NHRA Top Fuel racer Morgan Lucas of Riverside, CA.
White qualified for his first Chili Bowl Nationals championship main event as a then-record field of 249 entries vied for the 24 feature starting slots in January 2005. Lucas becomes the third drag racer to join this year's Chili Bowl entry list, with Cruz and Frank Pedregon ready for the indoor, quarter-mile clay oval Midget racing classic as well.
Other entries received today included California's Doug DeWitt and Illini shoe Patrick Bruns.
Also USAC Western States Midget champion Jerome Rodela of El Monte, CA, has replaced Mike Jones as driver of Kenneth Love's No. 71x entry. Louisiana's Joe Zieroos has been named the driver of the previously listed "TBA" Meents Motorsports entry, while California's Matt Sargent has been named the driver of Don Hammer's previously entered No. 45h.
The 20th Annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals field is shaping up as perhaps the most competitive in event history with the likes of NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser, four-time Chili Bowl winner Sammy Swindell and two-time Chili Bowl champion Cory Kruseman headlining the current list of entries.
Other top shoes already entered include Danny Lasoski, Dave Darland, J.J. Yeley, defending Chili Bowl champion Tracy Hines, Jay Drake, Dan Boorse, All-Star champion Chad Kemenah, ARDC Midget champion Ray Bull, USAC and Sprint Bandits TNT champion Levi Jones, USAC Midget champion Josh Wise, Kraig Kinser, Kevin Swindell, Jason Leffler and Late Model aces Bart Hartman and Steve Francis.
