– OWASSO, Okla. (Dec. 22, 2014) – Tony Bruce Jr. will compete in the 29th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals in less than a month.
It marks his first race at the premier midget event – held Jan. 13-17 at the River Spirit Expo Center in Tulsa, Okla. – since 2007.
“I’m really excited about it,” he said. “I had no interest in running the Chili Bowl until the right situation came along. Thanks to Submersible Pumps Inc. out of Cushing, Okla., and Wheeler Metals from Muskogee, Okla., we’ve been able to put together a car that I feel we can contend with.”
With nearly 300 entrants in the big event, which will be showcased on television via MAVTV, Bruce Jr. said his goal is to piece together a solid preliminary night and see what happens.
“I just want to go out there and compete,” he said. “I definitely want to make the prelim night A Main and we’ll go from there. There’s a lot of luck in the Chili Bowl and hopefully I’ll have a little of it.”
Bruce Jr. is coming off another solid sprint car season when he scored four feature victories and recorded 17 top-five finishes and 37 top 10s. He also placed in the top 10 of the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour championship standings for the sixth straight year.
