Six-time national touring series winged sprint car champion Brad Sweet returns to his midget racing roots aboard the No. 3t fielded by RMS Racing, while USAC veteran Kevin Thomas Jr. will wheel an Alex Bowman Racing prepared entry.
Veteran midget racers Zach Daum and Thomas Meseraull will also be among the contenders, while two-time Chili Bowl starter Kaylee Bryson will handle an Abacus Racing entry.
Midget regulars Hank Davis, Austin Torgerson and Jonathan Beason and winged sprint car racers Garet Williamson, Brenham Crouch and Hunter Schuerenberg also race on Tuesday.
Other notables competing on the second night of the 39th Chili Bowl Nationals are NASCAR Cup Series driver Ty Gibbs, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Ricky Thornton Jr. and Super DIRTcar Series title winner Mat Williamson.
