This month, some of the best dirt drivers in the world all convene at the Tulsa Expo Center for the annual Chili Bowl Nationals. Alongside these dirt aces, top names from the world of ARCA and NASCAR will also take their shot at Chili Bowl glory.
The NASCAR Cup Series will be well represented with veterans, young guns, and championship contenders taking part in the Chili Bowl.
These include three-time A-Main winners like 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell.
Bell’s JGR teammate Ty Gibbs also joins the field alongside fellow JGR alum and former USAC Triple Crown Champion J.J. Yeley.
The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series is also well represented, with veterans Sheldon Creed, who is gearing up to race with the Haas Factory team during the 2026 NASCAR OAP Series season, and Josh Bilicki.
However, one OAP driver with a real shot at winning the event this year is Corey Day, a dirt racing prodigy who is set to debut as a full-time NASCAR driver in 2026, racing full-time with Hendrick Motorsports during the 2026 NASCAR OAP Series season.
Ryan Roulette brings his experience from his first season of part-time racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series to Tulsa, where he will also race alongside some familiar competition from the ARCA Menards Series.
Two other ARCA Menards Series alumni racing in this year’s event include Gavan Boschele, who made his ARCA debut (and only start to date) in 2024 at Berlin Raceway, and fan favorite ARCA regular Brayton Laster.

There are also non-active NASCAR alums entered into this year’s Chili Bowl Nationals.
Santino Ferrucci made nine starts across 2021 and 2022 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series before turning his full attention back to open-wheel racing, where he currently races full-time in the NTT IndyCar Series for A. J. Foyt Racing.
Todd Kluever, a former NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year, has not competed in NASCAR since a one-off Truck Series WWT Raceway in 2009.
Perhaps the most interesting name NASCAR fans will be familiar with is Dillon Welch, who is not known for his racing, but rather his broadcasting, working as a pit road reporter for the NASCAR Cup Series on NBC and the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series on the CW.
