Dodge Chili Bowl Nationals -- Nightly Lineups Announced!


TULSA, Okla. (December 27, 2007) -- With another blockbuster edition of the Dodge Chili Bowl Nationals less than two weeks away, the talent-laden field of entries has been divvied up into qualifying nights.

Currently, 277 entries from 27 different states as well as Canada and Australia have been filed for the 22nd Annual Dodge Chili Bowl Nationals, which takes place atop the Tulsa Expo Raceway 1/4-mile clay oval located inside the QuikTrip Center on January 8-12, 2008.

A half dozen of the entered drivers have already captured the Golden Driller on at least one occasion, including defending Chili Bowl champ and two-time winner Tony Stewart. Stewart became just the fourth driver to take top Chili Bowl honors on more than one occasion, joining the likes of four-time winner Sammy Swindell and two-time winner Cory Kruseman, who will both make a bid for another Golden Driller in 2008. Other past winners entered include 2006 champ Tim McCreadie, 2005 winner Tracy Hines and 1990 ace Johnny Heydenreich.

A total of 195 entries have been distributed over the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Qualifying events to vie for starting positions in Saturday's full slate of Bass Pro Shops Championship Saturday feature events, which will commence with twin "K" Mains before finally culminating in Saturday night's 50-lap Dodge Chili Bowl Nationals championship "A" Main event.

Another 82 entries have been designated for Tuesday night's Pre-Qualifying event, consisting of newcomers or relative newcomers to the Chili Bowl. The top 15 finishers from Tuesday's Pre-Qualifier will advance to the Qualifying Night events. The balance of Tuesday's field will start in Saturday's early features.
