TULSA, Okla. – Reigning NOS Energy Drink USAC National Midget Series champion Tyler Courtney headlines the list of drivers for Monday’s Cummins Qualifying Night, the opening act of the 34th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals.
The Indianapolis native is among the 65 entries attempting to secure one of two guaranteed spots in the 55-lap championship A-main at Tulsa Expo Raceway.
Monday’s 25-lap preliminary feature will send the top two finishers to Saturday’s main event, also locking them into the #BCForever Pole Dash that will determine the first five rows of the grid.
Courtney, whose best Saturday effort at the Chili Bowl is a pair of sixth-place finishes (2017, ’19), will pilot the No. 7bc NOS Energy Drink-sponsored, Stanton-SR11x/Spike for Clauson-Marshall Racing. It will be Courtney’s ninth Chili Bowl attempt.
Also notable in Monday’s lineup is Chili Bowl sophomore Cannon McIntosh, a product of Bixby, Okla., who nearly won top rookie honors in last year’s event and will drive the No. 71k Tulsa Sod & Mulch-backed Bullet/Toyota for Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports.
Other notables in Monday’s field include NASCAR Xfinity Series star Chase Briscoe, eight-time New Zealand midget champion Michael Pickens and teenage sensation Gio Scelzi.
Briscoe will return to his own Chase Briscoe Racing No. 5 this year after attempting last year’s Chili Bowl with Boss Factory Racing, while Pickens is driving the No. 1nz King/Toyota for RMS Racing and Scelzi will wheel the familiar Tucker-Boat Motorsports No. 84.
Multi-time AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Series champion Brady Bacon is also in the field, driving the No. 76e for Frank Manafort Racing.
One entry – the No. 4s from RAMS Racing – still stands with a to-be-announced driver.
