First Look At The 2025 Chili Bowl Nationals Entry List
The wait is over! Take a first look at the 2025 Chili Bowl Nationals entry list.
With the early count already climbing to 100 cars, the entry list for the 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink is finally live. You can view the full roster below, including some notable storylines from the first drop.
Right at the top, you’ll see Slammin’ Sammy Swindell entered in his iconic #1, ready to contest his 35th Chili Bowl Nationals at the age of 69-years-old. The five-time Golden Driller winner will have a new teammate in the Swindell Motorsports - Bertrand Motorsports, LLC. stable with multi-time ASCS winner, Jordon Mallet, piloting the #91S in his first try at the Chili Bowl.
The most notable team entered thus far is Alex Bowman Racing and their fleet of four Ally #55 machines, the most entries that NASCAR Cup Series competitor Alex Bowman has ever fielded in Tulsa. Jake Swanson, C.J. Leary, and Kevin Thomas Jr. – all multi-time Chili Bowl Championship A-Main Starters – will be joined by newcomer Briggs Danner, fresh off a breakout three-win campaign with the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars.
Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports – the 2022 Chili Bowl champions with Tanner Thorson – have currently filed a trio of entries with USAC regulars Mitchel Moles and Hayden Reinbold, plus Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series champion, Ricky Thornton Jr., back for his fourth bowl of Chili.
Hank Davis, a preliminary winner in 2023 and top-five finisher in 2024, will continue to drive a potent Matt Seymour Racing #29 with Tim Buckwalter as his teammate. Zach Daum and Michael Faccinto, both top-10 finishers in Tulsa, will lead the way for a four-car Trifecta Motorsports lineup with Rylan Gray and another TBA in the mix.
Among the ten three-car operations on the list, Pat O’Dell currently supplies the most cars with five of his rides lined up for Jake Neuman, Emilio Hoover, Sye Lynch, Mitch Fabish, and a TBA.
The coveted Rookie of the Year battle already has 24 freshmen ready to run in Tulsa. Sprint Car standout Sye Lynch is in the mix among youngsters Garrett Benson, Jett Yantis, Trey Zorn, and Aiden Price, among others.
In total, 19 Championship A-Main starters are on the original list of 100 entries. Competitors currently hail from 23 United States plus Australia, New Zealand, and Netherlands.
Keep in mind, entries are nowhere near finalized with mountains and mountains of more drivers expected to put their names on the list in the coming month-plus. The Chili Bowl Nationals has surpassed 300+ entries for ten consecutive years now, peaking at 381 entries in 2022.
