Kyle Larson is one of racing’s most recognizable faces, and he has found success across many levels, including a pair of wins at Chili Bowl Nationals.

The driver count in 2025 again should approach 400, with competitors coming from multiple countries and racing disciplines, including the world of NASCAR.

What Kind Of Cars Race At Chili Bowl Nationals?
Chili Bowl Nationals features Midget cars, which are small vehicles with a high power-to-weight ratio and open wheels, all of which results in speedy and physical racing with banging wheels and flipping cars.
The cars, sometimes mistaken for go-karts, weigh less than 1,000 pounds, including the driver, and while they're small, they're also mighty, featuring four-cylinder engines and 300-400 horsepower. They can accelerate quickly and reach speeds up to 100 miles per hour.
