The Chili Bowl Nationals is just about one month away, and the entry list continues to grow. Officially joining the party once again are two of the biggest names in motorsports, with five Golden Drillers between them.

That’s right, defending winner Kyle Larson and three-time winner Christopher Bell have officially filed their entries to take part in the festivities inside the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma January 12-17.

Larson will pilot the No. 1K out of the Kyle Larson Racing stable. After taking a brief hiatus from the Chili Bowl, Larson will be back inside the SageNet Center for the third year in a row. The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion kicked off a big 2025 with his second Chili Bowl National victory.

Joining him from the NASCAR world is Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell. Bell also took a brief three-year hiatus from the Chili Bowl, but he’ll be back for the second year in a row. The three-time Chili Bowl champion finished 10th in 2025. This year he’ll be driving a car that he owns, and he’ll be joined by Kaidon Brown as his teammate. Brown, from Sydney, Australia, will be driving the No. 21AU, and will be looking to make the Chili Bowl A-Main for the first time in three attempts next month.

Larson and Bell are not the only NASCAR drivers to be attempting to win a Golden Driller next month. Also entered is Ty Gibbs, Bell’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, who will be making his second Chili Bowl attempt in a row. NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series veteran Sheldon Creed will be driving for Ninety-Four Racing as he makes his Chili Bowl debut. And Corey Day, who will be chasing NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Rookie of the Year honors, will be racing for Willie Kahne as he chases his first Chili Bowl victory. Day finished 11th last year and third in 2024. NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour winner Jake Johnson will also be making his Chili Bowl debut behind the wheel of a car owned by Corey Kruseman. Gavan Boschele was also recently announced as a full-time ARCA Menards Series driver for Nitro Motorsports in 2026, but he’ll start off the year in a Midget for Kyle Busch Motorsports as he makes his fourth attempt at the Chili Bowl Nationals.

The Swindell name will have an expanded presence at the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals. Five-time winner Sammy Swindell will be back inside the SageNet Center for his 36th Chili Bowl Nationals attempt. The elder Swindell will be looking to make Saturday’s A-Main for the first time since 2020.

Four-time winner Kevin Swindell’s Swindell Speedlab team will have three drivers representing it this year. Two-time Chili Bowl winner Logan Seavey will again be racing for Swindell Speedlab. He will be joined by Emerson Axsom and Kyle Cummins, who between them have made four A-Mains.
