i was at the chilibowl, this being my 18th in a row how does Larson spin twice and not get sent to the pits. And for kevin to get second again 2 years in a row after winning 4 in a row, no one at the chilibowl can even come close to that record so far, if not for maybe another yellow or 2 or not having some troubles in a qualifying night it could be 6 in a row

I also was there, announcer said something about being spun by other car the first time.  Most of the people around me just chuckled and winked like... uh-huh.  He did not win so to me it was a whatever.

With those two cars you can never count either Swindell out and Kevin was coming fast, not to say he might have gotten caught up in the same traffic as Rico. But the whole week is full of "shoulda, woulda, couldas". 

Larson might be starting a little of a Chili Bowl Curse. He is going to be asked that alot by the media next year. 

Rico was definitely the crowd favorite and I was one of those chanting Rico, Rico, Rico!

I cannot wait for 2016...

I think the rule at most tracks is 3 yellows you're out, not 2....

The Chili Bowl is kind of the wild west as far as rules go no?  Maybe there is no 2 spin rule.  Sammy drove through the infield last year and wasn't penalised correct?

Not Correct Limowreck.  Sammy received a 1 lap penalty for getting knocked into the infield.  He had some help.  Not saying intentional but he had some help being turned into the infield. 

Fair enough on the penalty,  My mistake.  He did drive through on his own free will and rejoin on the other side of the track though.

It was my first time at the chili bowl and i noticed the "cause 2 cautions and go the pits" rule was in full affect for the qualifying nights for sure...not sure why it wast imposed on larson but since he didnt win i see no harm...however if he would have came back up and won i think there would be some controversy...him being out there is entertaining and thats what i pay for...it was easily the best the race i have witnessed on dirt and will not miss another chili bowl...i will say that pittman had to have been one of the fastest cars out there until his accident...

Spencer Brayston caused 3 cautions and still restarted....

do it in the dirt

By the way...rewatch the a main and after the second spin you can hear tony bachoven in the background say that it was Kyle's second unassisted caution will send him to the pits...

Kyle is as good as there as EVER been but he must get nervous in Central PA and Tulsa

Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3 
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

He didn't receive a 1 lap penalty...he got lapped by the leader while he took a trip thru the infield and had to run turns 1 and 2 again before he got back to the start finish line. It wasn't a penalty.

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.
