Getting primed to compete in the 28th annual Chili Bowl Midget nationals, American Canyon, CA native Travis Berryhill is excited to compete for the Golden Driller trophy.
The week-long racing event sees a myriad of racing stars from all motorsports disciplines convene, with stars racing including NASCAR star Kasey Kahne and a plethora of others. The California native and Indiana resident will be contending in the Manic Racing #31B Vallejo Coin Exchange/MPD/K&N Filters/American Racer Stealth/Fontana.
“With our big win at the Sandbox, we feel our indoor program is really strong and that we can contend to win at the Chili Bowl, says Berryhill, noting that the team has two fresh Fontana engines and feels they have what it takes to compete with the best racers in the World.
The victory Berryhill mentions was decisive victory in the Badger Midget Racing Association event at the Sasquatch Indoor Nationals presented by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky at the Cedar Lake Speedway Arena in New Richmond, WI. With that win, Berryhill became a member of an elite list of drivers having earned wins in both BMARA and the Bay Cities Racing Association – two of the oldest and prestigious racing clubs in auto racing history.
Joining Berryhill will be Beloit, Wisconsin’s David Budres in the Manic Racing #31 Simpson Race Products/MPD/K&N Filters/American Racer Stealth/Fontana.
Berryhill will compete in Wednesday’s River Spirit Casino qualifying night while Budres will compete in Friday’s Vacuworx International qualifying night.
Berryhill and Manic Racing still have primary sponsor space available on the cars for the Chili Bowl. Primary sponsorship would include dedicated primary signage on the car for thousands of fans in attendance to see, as well as National television coverage.
Berryhill has brand new hero cards designed by Nick McColloch of Shift Creative and will also have hoodies and t-shirts available at the Chili Bowl, designed and printed by Kevin Sharrah Designs.
