Chili Bowl Entry Count Reaches Century Mark For 2025 Event
TULSA, Okla. — The anticipated 100 entry mark for the Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink has arrived in record time, and has signaled the list of Golden Driller hopefuls to go live for all the world to see.
A mixture of past feature starters, event rookies, and the king of the Chili Bowl himself, Sammy Swindell, the current list is comprised of drivers from the United States, Australia (Luke Storer), New Zealand (Mitch Fabish), and the Netherlands (Wout Hoffmans).
While the list of teams will snowball ahead of the December 6 entry deadline, several stout teams are already on the list to contend for a Golden Driller.
Among those is Alex Bowman Racing, who will bring four cars piloted by USAC stars Jake Swanson, Briggs Danner, C.J. Leary, and Kevin Thomas, Jr. in the Ally-backed entries.
A mixture of fenders and open wheel talent make up the stable for Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports, as 2024 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Castrol Flo Night in American titlist Ricky Thornton, Jr. will join Mitchel Moles and Hayden Reinbold.
A powerful team-up over the past few years, Matt Seymour, will again put Pennsylvania’s Tim Buckwalter and ASCS National Rookie of the Year, Hank Davis of Sand Springs, Okla., behind the wheel of his iconic No. 29 machines.
