Following an intense B-Main race that included a crash on the final night of the 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals, driver Thomas “T-Mez” Meseraull was escorted out of the SageNet Center before being allowed back in. 

Meseraull and Cannon McIntosh collided, sliding Meseraull into the wall while both drivers were in transfer positions.

Meseraull appeared none too pleased about the result that effectively ended his 2024 Chili Bowl. 

Why Was T-Mez Briefly Kicked Out Of The Chili Bowl?

At first it was believed that Meseraull threw his steering wheel at an official, which led to him being escorted out of the building. 

Cooler heads prevailed and Meseraull was allowed back in the SageNet Center.

Why Is It Called The Chili Bowl?

The Chili Bowl Nationals were started back in 1987 by Lanny Edwards and Emmett Hahn. The two promoters partnered with “The Chili Bowl Company" owned by the Berryhill family. Edwards and Hahn decided to name the event after the company.

“My father bought into a restaurant on 11th street (in Tulsa),” said Bob Berryhill. “And it was called the Chili Bowl.”

Eventually, the Berryhill family took the Original Chili Bowl restaurant and turned it into a company that sold their chili in grocery stores.
