Brownsburg, IN — (January 18, 2012) — Kyle Steffens, of St. Charles, Missouri, made his Nine Racing team debut in the #91X at last weekโ€™s 26th Annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals at the QuikTrip Centerโ€™s Tulsa Expo Raceway, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Kyle began the 2012 Chili Bowl event by winning his heat race on Thursday, January 12. He finished 8th in the A Qualifier 3, and then finished 6th in the B Main. Unfortunately, the top four transferred to the A Main, so he missed moving up to the A Main by two places.
