TULSA, Okla. – The first batch of entries for the 36th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals was released Tuesday morning, with 121 drivers and teams already signed up for January’s event at Tulsa Expo Center.
Five-time event winner Sammy Swindell returns for another crack at the prestigious event. Three-time World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Car Series champion Brad Sweet and NASCAR Cup Series driver Alex Bowman boast the lineup, as well as World of Outlaws driver David Gravel and 2013 World of Outlaws champion Daryn Pittman.
Recently amending the long-standing age restriction, the field’s youngest competitor to be approved thus far is 13-year-old Gavan Boschele, who will be at the wheel of a Keith Kunz Motorsports entry.
The Chili Bowl Nationals runs Jan. 10-15, and entries are accepted until Friday, Jan. 15.
