Night three of preliminary racing for the 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals was held Wednesday night at the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A night that began with 74 drivers seeking Chili Bowl glory ended with one winner and two drivers earning guaranteed starting spots in Saturday's main event.

The starting lineup is set for the third preliminary feature of the week at the 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals. A Wednesday night field that began with 74 drivers has been narrowed down to 24 feature starters, with only the top two finishers transferring to Saturday's main event.

Following Tuesday’s announcement that Kyle Larson will be back in action Thursday at the 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy, another phone call to Keith Kunz by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will see the return of the Mississippi shoe on Friday night.

Two nights of preliminary action down, three nights of preliminary action to go at the 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals. On Wednesday night, another group of 74 drivers are expected to be in action with two guaranteed starting spots in Saturday's A-Main on the line.

It’s day three in Tulsa, and Wednesday brings us perhaps the most wide open preliminary night of the week.
