- Kyle Larson Is A Three Time Chili Bowl Champion
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 18, 2025) Leading start to finish through Saturday's 39th annual Chil Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink, Kyle Larson parked in Victory Lane for the third time in his career in the Paul Silva owned HendrickCars.com/FloRacing No. 1k. "We had a great car. Paul Silva has been working really hard on the Midget the last three years, and for as bad as we were in 2022 with the same car, to come away with a Chili Bowl win feels great, especially with how difficult Monday was," said Larson. Getting the point over Landon Brooks to start the 40-lap feature, the Matt Wood Racing No. 57w, making his first feature starter, had to contend with Daison Pursley. Taking second on Lap 13, Pursley and Larson were quick to find traffic, with Larson's night nearly ending as a pair of slower cars came together. Over the front of Brenham Crouch, Larson somehow kept rolling. "Being at the back of the pack, they can be impatient, and they came together and stopped right in front of me and had to ramp over his left front, and it stalled midair, so when I landed, I was like, please, please refire, and it did," said Larson of the near race-ending moment. Running every line, and at times the wall to keep pace over Pursley, the pair again had slower traffic bring the fight for the lead into view, while Pursley continued to be stalked by Landon Brooks. Back to green after a late race caution as a front stretch banner became torn and pulled on the track right as Larson slipped and climbed the wall, the final dash to the finish saw Larson and Pursley all over the cushion, with the CB Industries No. 86 making one final charge, but not able to overtake as Larson captured the win by 0.365-seconds. Making the run from eight, Shane Golobic made it to third in the closing laps, with ninth-starting Ryan Bernal following to fourth. Landon Brooks completed the top five. The 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink saw 377 competing entries out of 392 entries received. Saturday's A-Feature has seven first-time starters. The driver making the biggest run through the alphabet was Montana's Joe Perry who races six times from the N-Feature to the I-Feature. Jonathan Beason made the biggest charge into the A-Feature with a run from a Creek County Speedway C-Feature. Saturday started with the P-Features. The week included 134 overall races. The 40th annual Chil Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink happens January 12-17, 2026, at the SageNet Center at Expo Square. Ticket renewals begin the first Wednesday in March. Information will be sent and emailed to ticket holders. New Orders begin at the same time.

- Logan Seavey Charges To Hard Rock Qualifying Night Victory
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 17, 2025) Making the late race pass for the lead, then having to fend off the ferocious pursuit of Gavin Miller through the closing laps, Logan Seavey delivered for his fourth career Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink preliminary night victory during Hard Rock Hotel Casino Tulsa Qualifying Night. "I could still keep up with guys; I just lost a little balance really to be able to maneuver as good as I needed to in traffic, but when I could get against the cushion by myself, I could make a ton of speed, but in the feature, I could finally crawl the bottom, so we're going in the right direction. I still feel like I made a lot of ugly laps there, but fortunately, I happen to make them at the right times and made good laps when I needed them," explained Seavey of the race. Rolling from seventh at the start, Seavey was on the podium in eight laps. Chasing Ryan Timms and Gavin Miller, the fight for the lead got hot on Lap 18 as Gavin Miller tried to shoot under Timms into the third turn. Across the nose of the No. 97, Miller would make contact with Timms. Who spun to a stop. On the contact, Miller said, "Trying to cross back on Logan, Ryan went to the bottom, and I didn't think he was going slow up that much. I locked up the brakes, but was already too far, and hooked his bumper, and I apologized to him." Getting momentum, Seavey leaned into the cushion and began closing on Miller. Around to Lap 26, a misstep on the cushion by Miller put Seavey in the hunt, with a move for the lead coming the next time around. Glued to the back bumper of the No. 39 through the final four laps, Seavey slid himself through both ends of the Tulsa Expo Raceway to fend Miller by 0.221-seconds. Seavey into his seventh Chili Bowl A-Feature, Miller's runner-up finish locks him into his first. Tyler Courtney ran 12th to third, with Daryn Pittman and Daryn Pittman completing the top five. Five preliminary nights yielded 392 entries officially received after cancelations, with 377 drawing in for competition. Each night saw a different car owner in victory lane. The last time was 2023, during Logan's first Chili Bowl victory, with the first two nights seeing new car owners in victory lane, followed by KKM, Thorson, and Swindell. That same pattern has played out in 2025, with Silva and Wood each earning their first wins as car owners on Monday and Tuesday. Saturday, January 18, opens at 8:00 A.M. with cars on track at 9:00 A.M. (CT). The features are slated to start with the double P-Mains. The 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink takes place January 13-18, 2025, under the giant roof of the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla. Fans unable to attend the Chili Bowl Nationals can watch every lap live at http://www.floracing.com. General Admission tickets are sold at the event and include access to the Pits.

- Tyler Bruening Achieves First Career Lucas Oil Victory
WAYNESVILLE, GA (January 17, 2025) - On lap 42, Tyler Bruening reclaimed the lead from Daulton Wilson and pulled away in the closing laps for his first career win in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, during the opening night of the Super Bowl of Racing at Golden Isles Speedway on Friday night. The Decorah, Iowa native led the first six laps before giving the lead to Wilson, who maintained his position until he had to slow down for a car that was crosswise in front of him on lap 41. Though Bruening had dropped to third, he regained speed in the final laps, overtaking Wilson to become the 93rd different winner in the 21-year history of the series. Jonathan Davenport passed Brandon Overton in the final laps to secure second place. Overton finished third, with Devin Moran and Brian Shirley completing the top five drivers. Not only was it Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time in his career, but it was also Bruening's first-ever win in a national touring series event. "I can't describe it," said an emotional Bruening after earning his win. "It's the hardest thing I have ever done. Those guys [Wilson and Overton] got by me. We had a good hot rod all night; everything was a first for me tonight. I set a new track record; I have never done that before. I won a heat against some of the best in the business. I drove my butt off in the feature. My emotions are high; I don't know what to say. I am on the verge of just breaking down here. Oh man, I can't tell you how hard it's been. The ups and downs, how difficult this sport is, and how good everybody really is." "I am so blessed to wheel this hot rod here tonight. We've been through a lot. We have worked our butt off, and I couldn't be prouder. My crew chief Zeb [Holksevick] deserves this. My mom, my sister, and my brother, watch me every night." Davenport, who started in ninth place, came to life late in the race to secure the runner-up spot behind Bruening. "That's awesome for Tyler to win. I saw he fell back, and then he got rolling on the top, so he did a great job keeping his composure and finding a new line. Congratulations to him. I stole one from him a couple of years ago at Knoxville. I had that in the back of my mind. Thanks to my guys, we had a good car there, we just needed a little bit more. I am never satisfied and think I can be a little better. I know some things we need to work on. We always run well here but haven't won in a while. It's really tough." In his return to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing this year in the Longhorn Factory Car, Overton rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I was content to running second to Daulton. I knew he had a 2 compound on and I was thinking this is Brunswick. The bottom is going to clean up, we are going to single file and he'll start backing up, and then all of a sudden here comes Bruening blowing by. What do you do? It's the first night; I am so excited for this year. We run in the top three of a Lucas Oil race. We have so much more room to go." The winner's Greg Bruening-owned Skyline Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Quick Supply Company, Truck Country, Olson Explosives, Bilstein Shocks, Bruening Rock Products, and Brown's Heavy Equipment. Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Brandon Sheppard, Max Blair, Garrett Alberson, and Daulton Wilson.

- Tanner Thorson Cooks Up A Thriller On Hasty Bake Qualifying Night
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 16, 2025) Another fight to the finish during the 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink, Thursday's Hasty Bake Qualifying Night A-Feature came down to the final lap with Tanner Thorson holding off Ryan Bernal and Christopher Bell for the win. On the final restart, Thorson said, "That yellow came out, and I'm like [Christopher] Bell is the last person I want behind me on a restart, so I'm looking for my guys to tell me kind of where to go, and I didn't know, and I about gave it away when I thought Bell as to my inside, and it's [Ryan] Bernal, and I'm like holy crap, we're about to get our doors blown off, so it was tricky." Thorson's third career preliminary night victory in 12 starts since 2014, the fight for the win began with Karter Sarff, who drove around Thorson to lead the third and fourth laps. Tight into the cushion on a Lap 5 restart, that allowed Thorson to retake the point. Battling next with Christopher Bell, the pair set sights on the leader, with Bell able to roll to the point on Lap 10. Caution with nine to go, Bell and Thorson began trading top and bottom at opposite ends of the Tulsa Expo Raceway, with Thorson settling in the cushion to rocket back to the lead on Lap 25 before the caution waved. Caution at the white flag, the stage was set for a green, white, checkered showdown with the battle going three deep as Ryan Bernal, who was nearly collected in the crash that caused the final restart, sticking the bottom to take the race three wide through the final lap.
