It’s that time again. Chili Bowl 2025 is upon us. The biggest dirt midget race on the planet is ready to begin. Everyone will have their eyes on Tulsa, Oklahoma, as the week-long Chili Bowl Nationals have been a yearly tradition since 1987. Everyone who enters will be looking to leave with the famed Gold Driller Trophy by next weekend. With well over 300-plus entries, there are plenty of names to keep an eye on. This year has plenty of impactful players specifically from the NASCAR<\/a> realm.<\/p>\n

Like always the usually crowd favorites make their return as well. Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell put on a show at the Tulsa Shootout a couple of weekends ago. They will be ready to show out again. Without further delay let’s take a look at all of the NASCAR talent in Tulsa this week.<\/p>\n

Chili Bowl 2025 Full of NASCAR Talent<\/h2>\n

NASCAR drivers have fared very well over the years at this event, as Larson is a former, while Bell has won it three times. He’s back for a fourth this year. NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart is also a former winner of this event as is 2023 Cup Champion Ryan Blaney’s Dad Dave. Though those two dirt racing legends aren’t here this time.<\/p>\n

There are plenty looking to add their name to the winner’s list. In total seven drivers made at least one NASCAR Cup start in 2024, looking to outfox dirt favorites Tanner Thorson, Buddy Koifoid, and the 2024 winner Logan Seavey, according to Adam Fenwick from NASCAR.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson<\/h3>\n

Larson is behind the wheel of the No. 1K for Silva Motorsports. It will be his 17th Start in the event. A late flip ended his run in 2024. He’s back with a second victory in the Chili Bowl on his mind.<\/p>\n
