Who To Watch Thursday At The Lucas Oil Chili Bowl

Who To Watch Thursday At The Lucas Oil Chili Bowl

Wednesday's Lucas Oil Chili Bowl preliminary night features Christopher Bell, Tanner Thorson, Spencer Bayston and more.

Setting The Stage: Chili Bowl Thursday

We’re officially beyond the halfway mark of the 36th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals.

Through three nights, we’ve seen the domination of Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports by sweeping all three prelims with Tanner Carrick, Buddy Kofoid & Rico Abreu. And now? They’ve got Christopher Bell locked and loaded.

After two years away from the stable, CBell returns to the team which he started his Midget career with and the team which he won three Golden Drillers with. He’s going for his seventh consecutive Thursday triumph, a win that would give him eight overall and tie him with Sammy Swindell for the most in history.

2022 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals


If CBell wants to keep his streak alive, he’s going to have to survive some of the Thursday titans.

Most notably, Tanner Thorson, a podium finisher last year and former preliminary winner, has made the switch to compete on Thursday this year. He’s aboard the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports #19T, and noticeably has one of the fastest cars in the building.

There’s also Spencer Bayston for the RMS Racing camp, who led several laps and battled with Bell for last year’s Thursday preliminary win. He’s got the momentum from three consecutive top-10s for his RMS teammates in David Gravel, Thomas Meseraull & Brad Sweet before him.

Shane Golobic leads the charge for Matt Wood Racing, who continually shows that they’re one of the best operations in the building. “Sugar Shane” is going for his ninth Chili Bowl A-Main start this week.

Other notables include Brady Bacon, Emerson Axsom, Danny Stratton, JJ Yeley, and Joe B. Miller, among more.
