TULSA, Okla. (January 15, 2011) – The stage is set for Championship Saturday at the 25th Anniversary Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals at the QuikTrip Center’s Tulsa Expo Raceway.
A total of 256 competitors from 29 different states have slugged it out atop the ¼-mile clay oval over the past four nights to set the lineups for Saturday’s slate of 20 feature events, beginning with a “K” Main at 12:00 noon and climbing through the alphabet with twin “J” Mains, twin “I” Mains, etc., until culminating with Saturday night’s 50-lap championship finale.
A dozen drivers have already earned starting berths in the 25th Chili Bowl finale, with another dozen spots to be determined through the day’s racing action.
Drawing the pole for Saturday’s finale is Tuesday night’s Warren CAT winner Bryan Clauson, with Thursday night Suburban Chevrolet winner and five-time Chili Bowl champ Sammy Swindell drawing the front row outside. Friday’s Vacuworx International winner Shane Cottle drew the second row inside, with Wednesday’s River Spirit Casino winner Donnie Ray Crawford drawing the four pill to start second row outside.
Each night’s second-place finishers drew to determine rows three and four of the feature, with Damion Gardner and Jerry Coons, Jr., in row three and Dave Darland Michael Pickens in row four.
Third place finishers drew as well, with Nick Knepper and defending Chili Bowl champ starting from row five with Thomas Meseraull and Jon Stanbrough in row six.
