While it is no secret that Tony Stewart loves his small hometown gritty dirt racing, I think I remember hearing him say in the past that his dirt track Outlaws are nearest and dearest to the center of his chest. Now the man they call smoke is saying that if he had to choose one race to compete in a year, it would be the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl.
While I know Stewart looks like he can pack away some of Mama’s finest chunky cold weather soup, I am not talking about the kind of chili you eat with crackers. I am talking about the 22nd annual Midget Nationals to be held in the Tulsa Expo Center Tulsa, OK January 8-12.
Stewart is a 2 time champion of the event who says, “You don’t just get luck and do that. It is something you have to earn”. He will be looking to repeat last years win for a 3rd total against the starting 24 car field.
