- Emerson Axsom Is A Chili Bowl Champion
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 17, 2026) A dream come true for Emerson Axsom, the 21-year-old from Franklin, Ind., parked the Kevin and Jo Swindell No. 39a in Victory Lane for the first time in the 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink. "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," stated Axsom. Chasing Kyle Larson through the first four laps, Axsom carried a wave of momentum into the first and second turns as the pair worked Lap 4. Into traffic with 39 laps to go, tragedy struck Larson as he found a slowed C.J. Leary at the exit of the second turn, sending Larson flipping. Putting Swindell-backed cars first and second, Logan Seavey had company quickly with Justin Grant throwing sliders, until one nearly wrecked his night with 24 laps to go. Getting tighter among the top three with 16 go to, Seavey looked low with nothing there, but in turn opened the door for Justin Grant to take over second. Down the final eight laps, Justin Grant was in second, and in the hunt with a massive slide through turns one and two, only to have a caution appear, and restack the field. Working through several cautions in the closing laps, the runner-up spot was again in the mix, with the caution flying for Grant getting tipped in Turn 3. Setting up a green, white, checkered finish, the team drivers of Axsom and Seavey could not fend off the charge that was coming. White flag and one final trip: the battle was far from over as 18th-starting Kevin Thomas rolled the inside line. Right there as the pair came to the final turns, Axsom made a quick adjustment to his line, keeping the Four-King Racing No. 14k at bay. Hank Davis slipped by for third, with Logan Seavey and Briggs Danner completing the top five. The 40th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink drew a record-breaking field of 387 drivers to the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla. Through five preliminary nights of action, the field settled into the Saturday soup with the first green flag flying for the O-Features, after the Q-Features were cut due to lack of entrants. Those who did make the call simply moved up. Along with a record-breaking car count, the Saturday soup again produced legendary runs with Ohio's Mack Leopard, and Michigan's Darin Naida each advancing through nine features. Naida's run ended in the first G-Feature, with Leopard going into the first F-Feature. The 2026 Chili Bowl Rookie of the Year is Jett Barnes, who was the only event rookie to make the 24-car field. The 2027 Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink will take place January 11-16, 2027, inside the SageNet Center at Expo Square.

- Tony Stewart Named Grand Marshal Of The 40th Chili Bowl Nationals Powered by NOS Energy
TULSA, Okla. (January 5, 2025) When you envision the Mount Rushmore of racing, for many, the name Tony Stewart is on that list, and rightfully so. A USAC Triple-Crown titlist, Chili Bowl champion in 2002 and 2007, along with driving titles in NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, and SRX, to name a few, the list of accolades and accomplishments puts the man known as "Smoke" in a league of his own. Making his return to Tulsa in 2026, the Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink is honored to name the Columbus, Ind. native Grand Marshal of the 40th running of the World's Greatest Midget Race. "Not only is Tony a winner here, but he was also part of what really made the Chili Bowl take off in the early 2000s, and was the one who really started to rebuild the connection between dirt track and NASCAR fans. He's an ambassador to our sport at more levels than anyone; he's a great friend, and they don't make them like Tony anymore, so being able to honor him as our Grand Marshal means a lot to me, and this event," stated Chili Bowl co-founder, Emmett Hahn. "I remember, we made Tony an award in 2014 to recognize what he has done for Sprint Car racing, but this is our chance to let him know how much the Chili Bowl appreciates him." Along with the two Golden Drillers, Stewart has a dozen championship A-Feature starts in 14 appearances, three podiums, four top fives, and seven top tens. His last A-Feature appearance was in 2013. Stewart has also been part of the track preparation crew and spent several years working alongside Brad Chandler (aka Gravel), Steve Hahn, Matt Ward, and Martin Edwards. A driver and owner champion, Stewart owns titles in NASCAR, as well as 14 USAC owner titles, nine in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, and four in the All Star Circuit of Champions TQ Midgets Series, as well as wins in Sprint Car racing's most prestigious events, including the Knoxville Nationals, 12 times. The owner of the famed Eldora Speedway since 2004, Stewart's cars have won the King's Royal on six occasions.
