TULSA, Okla. — The first 100 entries for the 41st Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink have been released.
The field reached the century mark in 10 days, compared with 14 days for the 2026 event.
Three-time Chili Bowl champion Christopher Bell is among the first entrants. Bell will drive his own Spike, Toyota and PrestineAuction.com No. 21CB, and his team has grown from two entries to five.
Bell won Monday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Invitational Race of Champions and Thursday’s Hasty Bake Qualifying Night A-Feature in 2026.
Bell’s lineup includes three-time and defending Australian Speedcar champion Kaidon Brown, 2026 Dirt Track World Championship winner Ricky Thornton Jr. and 2026 USAC Indiana Midget Week champion Karter Sarff. One entry remains to be named.
Jordan McCann will bring Ireland to Tulsa while racing for Stephen Fairfield, known as Gravy. The United States, Australia, Ireland, Netherlands and New Zealand are represented so far. The first 100 include 23 event rookies.
