Who's Racing Tuesday At The 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl?
Who's Racing Tuesday At The 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl?
Take a look at the list of drivers that will be competing during Tuesday's preliminary night at the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals.
Monday’s program officially kickstarted the 37th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals and now Tuesday will keep the show rolling along.
It’s another loaded night with 70+ racers expected to sling some mud under Tulsa’s SageNet Center. Who are the heavy hitters, though? Let’s check ‘em out!
After winning Monday’s Race of Champions in impressive fashion, Spencer Bayston’s stock has skyrocketed. The former Chili Bowl Rookie of the Year knows what it’s like to lock-in and he very well could do it again tonight, driving a potent RMS Racing No. 1S.
The odds-on favorite, however, is likely Buddy Kofoid in the Keith Kunz Motorsports, Mobil 1 No. 71W. The Penngrove, CA native enjoyed a historic campaign on the USAC National Midget trail and enters tonight as the defending Tuesday winner in Tulsa – a crown he stole from Kyle Larson.
Driving for Dave Mac/Dalby Motorsports, international icon Michael Pickens hopes to make it back-to-back wins for the Bixby, OK team after Cannon McIntosh got the job done last night. The New Zealander is chasing his seventh Championship A-Main start in the building.
Offering the girl power on Tuesday is Kaylee Bryson – first female to qualify for Chili Bowl A-Main – and Jade Avedisian – first woman to win a National Midget race. Both girls have the privilege of gassing two of the finest pieces in the building with Bryson in a Keith Kunz Motorsports No. 71 and Avedisian in a CB Industries No. 84.

Tuesday also marks the long-awaited and official return to racing at the Chili Bowl for Daison Pursley. The Locust Grove, OK native missed last year’s running while recovering from a life-altering spinal injury but has bounced back triumphantly and is more prepared than ever as he climbs aboard the Reinbold/Underwood Motorsports ride to begin a new chapter.
Late Model ace Tim McCreadie, who topped the 2006 running of the Midget extravaganza, is one of two former Chili Bowl champions in Tuesday’s field. He’ll be putting his remarkable streak to the test as he pursues a 15th top-10 finish through 15 preliminary starts. Also on the docket is Damion Gardner, the 2008 Chili Bowl champion who now wheels the Klatt Enterprises No. 71G.
Former preliminary winner and reigning Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series champion, Zach Daum, also returns to Tuesday night with iconic car owner Andy Bondio. There’s also the likes of Kyle Jones in the Trifecta Motorsports No. 7U, Chance Crum in the Rudeen Racing No. 26, Alex Bowman in the Ally Racing No. 55, Devon Borden in the Matt Wood Racing No. 57W, Kameron Key in the TKH Motorsports No. 21J, and KJ Snow in the Jody Rosenboom No. 14X.
