As the lineup has been set for the main event, 24 drivers will take the tack with one goal in mind: win a Golden Driller. 

The most interesting driver on the track in the A-Main though, will be starting in the 12 position on the track. 

14-year old Jett Barnes claimed a seat on the A-Main after and impressive drive in the B Feature 2.

Barnes has been with Swindell SpeedLab since he was eight-years old and the now teenage sensation has the chance to make waves in the A-Main event in Tulsa, Okla. 

One of the youngest drivers ever to compete in the A-Main and now he even could be in the hunt for a Golden Driller. 

Hear about how Barnes found his spot in the SpeedLab car and be sure you are tuned in to FloRacing to keep up with all of the action from the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals.
