Chili Bowl Nationals presented by NOS Energy Drink

The 2025 edition of one of the most popular and cherished events in all of dirt racing, the Chili Bowl Nationals presented by NOS Energy Drink, has finally arrived.This year marks the 39th running of the event, which began in 1987 and has continued to grow in prestige each year since.

A number of NASCAR stars have traveled to Tulsa to take part in the Chili Bowl through the years. Several have won the event and taken home the prestigious Golden Driller trophy.

Among them are 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson, a two-time Chili Bowl winner, and Christopher Bell, a three-time Chili Bowl champion. Three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart has also won the Chili Bowl twice. Dave Blaney, a veteran of more than 450 NASCAR Cup Series races, won the Chili Bowl in 1993.

In 2025, seven drivers who competed in the NASCAR Cup Series last year are entered. They include Bell, who is returning to the Chili Bowl after a two-year absence. Kyle Busch, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, will be making his Chili Bowl debut. Larson is also entered alongside Ty Gibbs, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., J.J. Yeley and Josh Bilicki.

Brent Crews, who won in ARCA Menards Series competition each of the last two years, is also entered. Corey Day, a star sprint car driver who made his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series debuts one season ago, is also slated to compete.

In 2025, the Chili Bowl will be celebrating its 39th year, as 15,000 racing fans pack into the Tulsa Expo Raceway to watch seven straight nights of racing from January 12 to January 18.
