Who do we have racing in the Chili Bowl from the 410 wing ranks?  I see Haud and Pittman are there plus tons of NorCal drivers such as Rico Abreu, Kyle Larson, Shane Golobic, Dominic Scelzi and DJ Netto.  We have Sammy & Kevin yet to come.

Any chance we will see Steve KIinser one last time?  What about TK, Joey, Paulie or Donny?

Current entry list up to 200;

I dont think TK, Paul or Donny have ever run at the Chili Bowl that I can remember (I might not be correct on that). But BK usually runs every year. Saldana was there a couple years ago, but that was because he was piloting a KKR midget so I doubt he will be there this year. Man oh man... Haud is FUN to watch down there. Always one of my favorites!

Real race cars don't have fenders...

Doesn't Steve Buckwalter usually show up?

Jason Meyers was there last year. Wonder if he will be here this year.

I would have to say negative on just about any of the before mentioned drivers.  410 drivers could really care less about renting a ride that only pays $10k to win.  There is no value in it besides the fact that they want to race a historic event and have nothing else to do...even at that, it's going to cost $$$$ one way or another.

Haud at the Chili Bowl.  He is always fun to watch.  Glad to hear he will be running this year.

Saldana is in!

Heard Jason Johnson will be making his Chili Bowl debut this year, piloting a Loyet car.

there are quite a few 410 and 360 guys in there and if I were guessing very few of them are renting rides...

More of them are than you think.

Loose is when you hit the wall with the rear of the
car, tight is when you hit the wall with the front of
the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and
torque is how far you move the wall.

I heard the same thing

Some of those drivers are across the pond that weekend usually.  Hard to be in 2 places at once.....

Hes in a loyet car

Usually runs pretty good as well.

I'm not guessing, VERY FEW people run the chili bowl without paying for it...one way or another.  I,ve seen a couple checks exchanged with my own two eyes.  For those who don't realize this already, some drivers spend more than half the Winners share just to run this thing...I've seen that check too!

The Chili Bowl is a promoters dream.The best drivers show up,not many rules, $10K to win,and a packed house with TV coverage.It is too bad midget racing is not as popular as it was at one time as they are fun to watch on a smaller track.High priced motors and small purses plus some sanctioning issues have led to their problems.Still amazing how the Swindells can dominate for the last decade.Shows you He is one of the best ever when the rule book is thin.
