Chili Bowl Gets Sponsor

[Larry Jewett]

The Second Annual Chili Bowl Race of Champions will make the Tuesday, January 12, opener of the 24th Annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals at the QuikTrip Center's Tulsa Expo Raceway a must-see event for any race fan. Vacuworx International, a Tulsa-based world leader in vacuum lifting for field applications, has signed on as title sponsor for the Chili Bowl Race of Champions, an invitational race that pits past race winners and other top perennial event contenders.



In the 2009 edition of the Chili Bowl, Sammy Swindell kicked off his successful pursuit of an unprecedented fifth Golden Driller trophy by besting the 14-car Race of Champions field in the event’s inaugural outing. Swindell went on to post a perfect Chili Bowl experience by winning his heat race, qualifying race and "A" Feature in Wednesday's qualifying action and then finishing it off with a triumph in Saturday's 50-lap finale.



A limited number of tickets remain for the Tuesday night, January 12, Warren CAT Qualifying event that includes the Second Annual Vacuworx International Chili Bowl Race of Champions. Tickets are available for just $26 by calling 918-838-3777. The Tuesday night spectacular kicks off five full nights of competition at the 24th Annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals atop the QuikTrip Center's ¼-mile Tulsa Expo Raceway clay oval, set for January 12-16, 2010.
