Crouch Motorsports announced Monday that they will head to the famed Chili Bowl Nationals with youngsters Brenham Crouch and Landon Crawley.
Turning its attention to sprint car racing the last few seasons, Crouch Motorsports fielded a midget at the last season’s BC39 event with Joel Myers Jr. handling the driving duties and the team will again be in action Jan. 12-18 in Tulsa, Okla.
The team will be compromised of the aforementioned Crouch and Crawley doing the driving duties and will be a collaborative effort between Leighton Crouch of Crouch Motorsports, Jeff West of IPC, and Brodie Hayward of Hayward Motorsports.
“After taking a year off from Chili Bowl, I am extremely excited to get back inside the building in January,” Brenham Crouch said. “The Tulsa Expo Center is a place that always has me wanting to get back despite our results, and I think this year will be super cool getting back there and running my family car. I am really excited for January.”
Crouch spent a couple of seasons running midgets full time with Keith Kunz Motorsports before turning his attention to 410ci winged sprint cars and is fresh off of running the 2024 High Limit Racing slate.
While Crouch is fresh from his rookie campaign with High Limit, he will team up with Crawley who comes off his first national campaign as he recently wrapped up his rookie season with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
“I am really thankful for the opportunity to team up with Crouch Motorsports, Hayward Motorsports, and the West family,” Crawley said. “It truly is an honor to run some of the best equipment there is, and I am thankful for this chance. Returning to this race wasn’t even on my radar but things aligned, and we were able to put a deal together.
“I am looking forward to this race more than ever as I was able to run the biggest schedule of my career in 2024, and feel like that experience will benefit me tremendously.”
With just a month to go until move in day, Crouch is excited to have a fellow youngster to bounce ideas off at the prestigious event.
“Having someone like Landon Crawley as a teammate will be really cool too,” Crouch added. “I feel like we were in the same shoes all year running on national circuits for the first time and it will be nice to have someone like him bounce things off of. I also want to thank all the people that are making this possible; Hi Plains Building Division, Horizon Whiskey, Dirt Dudes Excavating, Crouch Motorsports, Jeff West, IPC, Hayward Motorsports and everyone that plays a role in this team.”
