Tanner Thorson reached the pinnacle of his racing career Saturday evening at the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 25-year-old Nevada native drove the race of his life to win the 36th Annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals.

It's likely only a matter of time until the all-time record for entries at the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals is broken. On Tuesday, event officials released an updated list of entries that included the names of 346 drivers or to-be-announced entries for the crown jewel of Midget racing.

ROSSBURG, OH  -- In convincing fashion, nonetheless, St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu secured his place in sprint car racing history books yet again, doing so by scoring the FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 portion of the annual 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

Anthony Macri stopped mid-sentence and pushed his glasses up toward his forehead as he gathered his thoughts and tried to stop the moisture from escaping his eyes and streaming down his face.

"Can we just go this once without talking about Kyle Larson?"

The result of an all-out slugfest, Republic, Ohio’s Cap Henry finally etched his name on the 2021 FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 win list, doing so in epic fashion during All Stars Indiana Invasion presented by Rayce Rudeen Foundation competition at Gas City I-69 Speedway in Gas City, Indiana. Henry, who now owns five All Star victories over the course of his career, earned his eventual $6,000 payday from the front row, forced to outduel and outwit St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu. Adding some flair to the record books, Henry’s victory occurred during just the second-ever Gas City visit by the All Stars; Dale Blaney scored the first visit win in 2004.
