TULSA, Okla. (January 13, 2010) – Kevin Swindell snared his first taste of Chili Bowl glory by wiring the field in Wednesday night's 25-lap River Spirit Casino Qualifying Showdown at the QuikTrip Center's Tulsa Expo Raceway.
Swindell, the son of five-time and defending Chili Bowl champion Sammy Swindell, outdueled Cole Whitt for the lead in the opening rounds and led all the way to the checkered flag with Whitt in tow, as tenth-starter Brad Kuhn nipped Tim McCreadie at the stripe for the third and final lock-in position to Saturday night's 24th Annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals 50-lap championship main event.
