Jan. 15, 2006:
T. Stewart Injured: Tony
Stewart, the reigning champion in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup
Series, was taken to a local hospital for a preliminary
examination after he flipped his Midget car in the opening
laps of last night's qualifying race for the 20th annual Chili
Bowl Midget Nationals at the Tulsa Expo Raceway. Complaining
of pain in his right arm after the crash, Stewart was taken to
the hospital where X-rays revealed no broken bones and a CT
scan proved negative. In a precautionary measure, Stewart was
fitted with a cast until a more extensive evaluation can be
made by his own doctors on Monday. "I'm a little sore," said
Stewart. "The doctors were great and did a pretty thorough
evaluation of me. They didn't find anything broken, but just
to be sure, they fitted me with a cast that I'll wear until I
meet with my doctors on Monday. It looks a lot worse than it
is. "In no way should this affect my upcoming test at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway, my plans to compete in the Rolex 24
Hours of Daytona or my participation in Daytona Speedweeks."

Lasoski wins Creek Nation
Casino Qualifier; NEXTEL Cup Champion Stewart flips:
Missouri's Danny Lasoski scored a wire-to-wire victory as the
20th Annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals kicked off
with Wednesday night's 25-lap Creek Nation Casino Qualifying
Night main event at Tulsa Expo Raceway. Lasoski fought off the
battling duo of Steve Kinser and Jerry Coons, Jr., to snare
the win, with Tim McCreadie making a last lap pass of
15-year-old Brady Bacon to snare the fourth and final transfer
position to Saturday's championship main event. Piloting Jerry
Russell's Esslinger-powered American Compressed Steel No. 33d
Eagle, the victory marked the second trip to victory lane in
Chili Bowl qualifying action for the three-time event
runner-up and Sprint Car standout. "I didn't have any idea if
anyone was close to me or not, all I knew was that I wasn't
getting off the bottom of the track in turns three and four,"
Lasoski commented at the post-race press conference. Lasoski
earned the pole position for the feature by accumulating the
most passing points among Wednesday night's 87 competitors by
virtue of a charge from fifth to first in his heat race and a
sixth to second run in his qualifying race. Just two weeks shy
of his sixteenth birthday, Broken Arrow, OK, shoe Bacon
gridded on Lasoski's outside shoulder, with Kinser and Johnny
Rodriguez in the second row. Lasoski gunned into the lead at
the drop of the green flag, with Kinser taking second from
Bacon in the opening two corners. Lasoski paced the field in
front of Kinser, Bacon and Coons, surviving a pair of cautions
in the opening seven rounds including Stan Yockey's hard turn
one flip with seven laps in the books. Yockey, one of three
drivers (along with Michele Miller and Donnie Lehmann) to
climb from Last Chance racing action to the main event,
emerged shaken but otherwise uninjured. Lasoski and Kinser
continued to lead the way, with Coons disposing of Bacon for
third on twelfth circuit. A lap later, ARDC Midget kingpin Ray
Bull charged past Bacon for fourth, just moments before Craig
Carey's turn one tumble on the 14th lap. Back under way,
Bacon regained fourth on the 17th circuit following a turn one
Bull bobble, with McCreadie advancing to fifth. Following the
race's final caution after 17 laps for a turn one tangle
involving Danny Stratton and Paul White, Kinser took to the
top side in turns three and four to try to mount a challenge
on Lasoski. "I started working the top because I've raced with
Danny way too long and I knew he wouldn't leave the bottom,"
Kinser commented afterward. But as Kinser nearly reeled
Lasoski in, 2005 Belleville Midget Nationals champion Coons
threw his hat into the mix, dicing with Kinser for second.
With Kinser and Coons dicing for second, Lasoski slipped away
in the final rounds to secure the victory. Heat race victories
were claimed by Kinser, Aaron Fike, Droud, Bacon, Rodriguez,
Lasoski, R.J. Johnson, Joey Montgomery, Carey and Tony
Elliott. Yockey, Wayne Johnson, Kyle Rayburn and Lehmann each
scored Last Chance Race wins, with Coons, Kinser, Ray and
McCreadie victorious in Qualifying Race action. In addition to
the feature tumblers, other flip victims for the night
included Jasiel Randolph, Robert Marfia, Tyler Brown, Sparky
Howard, Billy Alley, Ashley Swanson, Ryan Kaplan, Scott Milan
and Seth Wilson. There were no injuries. Tony Stewart
scratched from the night after a wild flip in hot laps.
Uninjured, Stewart has been rescheduled for Friday night's
Warren CAT qualifying action. (Chili Bowl PR)

Chili Bowl Track
nearly ready to go: The track for the upcoming 20th Annual
O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, set for January 11-14,
2006, is taking shape as work crews have been busily
constructing the track this week. What started out as a
bare floor in the Tulsa Expo Center on Sunday morning has
already undergone a metamorphosis as the quarter-mile clay
track, which will host upwards on nearly 300 entries at the
Chili Bowl, is nearly complete just a few days later. Prior
to the O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, the track will
host the 21st Annual Tulsa Shootout, which will feature
approximately 1,000 entrants in Kart, Micro and Quad racing
action. Currently, the 600-cc Multi class of Micros has the
most entries, with World of Outlaws stars Danny Lasoski and
Terry McCarl among the 118 entries. More information
regarding the O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals is
available at www.chilibowl.com, with additional information

Frank Pedregon ready for the indoor, quarter-mile clay oval
Midget racing classic as well. Other entries received today
included California's Doug DeWitt and Illini shoe Patrick
Bruns. Also USAC Western States Midget champion Jerome Rodela

Chili Bowl Entries: The
Bowl season is nearly upon us and that can mean only one
thing: it's time to take a look at the pre-entries for the
upcoming 20th Annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals,
which will take place at Tulsa Expo Raceway on Wednesday
through Saturday, January 11-14, 2006. The entry list for the
20th edition of the Chili Bowl, which includes 229 entries
from 26 different states, reads like a veritable "Who's Who"
of auto racing with top drivers from all disciplines of
racing. Among those headlining the list of entries are NEXTEL Cup Champion Tony Stewart, NASCAR star Kasey Kahne,
20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser, four-time
Chili Bowl winner Sammy Swindell, two-time Chili Bowl
champions Cory Kruseman and Dan Boorse, and defending Chili
Bowl winner Tracy Hines. With 229 entries already submitted,
it is expected that last year's record count of 249
competitors will be easily eclipsed. One-third of the entrants
will compete on Wednesday night, January 11, with the
second-third on Thursday night and the final third on Friday
night. Qualifying night results will determine the Saturday,
January 14, Chili Bowl championship feature lineups.
Originally a two-day event that attracted 52 entries in 1987,
the O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals has evolved into a
four-night extravaganza of indoor, dirt track midget racing,
and ranks among the world's most prestigious auto racing
events. Reserved seating for all four nights of the event was
depleted in mid-October. Pit passes for all four nights do
remain however. Four-night pit pass vouchers are available by
contacting the O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals ticket
office at 918-838-3777. The complete list of
entries

Leffler and '05 NEXTEL Cup
champion Stewart in Chili Bowl: As Venture Racing rolls
into the 2006 Chili Bowl, midget racing's biggest event of the
year, it will do so with a stacked deck. Venture has assembled
five of the biggest names in auto racing today for an all out
assault on the Chili Bowl's field of stellar competitors from
around the globe. Leading off Venture's effort will be 2005
Nextel Cup Champion Tony Stewart. Although fans have become
accustomed to his appearances in victory lane on the Nextel
Cup circuit, he is no stranger to winner's circle in the
ultra-competitive world of open wheel racing. As Stewart takes
to the track in a Venture Racing, Spike chassis with Mopar
power, he'll be looking to repeat his 2002 Chili Bowl victory.
Stewart's Venture Racing mount will carry sponsorship from
Coca-Cola, Bass Pro Shops and Arctic Cat. Joining Stewart as a
member of this year's Venture Racing line-up will be his
protege, Jason Leffler. A graduate of midget racing with
victories in almost every premier event, Leffler has joined
the ranks of NASCAR as a regular competitor in the Busch
Series. Despite Leffler's status as a rising star, he still
hungers for a victory in midget racing's biggest event.
Leffler hopes to round out his midget racing resume with a
Chili Bowl victory in his Venture Racing, Spike Chassis,
Esslinger powered midget. When it comes to a winning record at
the Chili Bowl, there is no better name than Swindell. Sammy
Swindell has been a fixture at the race since its beginnings.
He has posted impressive results at the event with four Chili
Bowl titles to his name. If one Swindell is good, two are
better. Joining his father at this year's Chili Bowl will be
Kevin Swindell. This talented youth recently piloted one of
Tony Stewart's midgets to "Rookie of the Race" honors in the
Turkey Night Grand Prix. In only ten starts in a pavement
sprinter, 16 year old Swindell captured five wins, eight poles
and numerous track records. The Swindell's will be campaigning
Venture Racing, Spike Chassis, Esslinger powered midgets
carrying sponsorship from Sanders Engineering and Super Shox.
Like the younger Swindell, the final driver on Venture's
roster represents the future of racing. 17 year old, Josh "Kid
Rocket" Richards joins Venture Racing fresh off a season which
earned him rookie-of-the-year honors on the competitive World
of Outlaws Late Model Series. Richards Gary Stanton Mopar
powered Spike Chassis will carry sponsorship from Seubert Calf
Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Complete Flooring and Mike Richards
Racing. "We believe midget racing is poised for a comeback",
commented Venture Racing's Bob Trafford. " When you see the
passion that these drivers have for the sport, and the
excitement that you get from the fans, it's hard not to
believe that there are great things to come for the sport. We
look forward to being a part of it." (Venture Racing PR)

Baltes named Chili Bowl Grand Marshal: Legendary
auto racing promoter and track operator Earl Baltes has been
named Grand Marshal of the 20th Annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl
Midget Nationals at the Tulsa Expo Center on January 11-14,
2006. Baltes, 84, remains an icon in the sport, following a
career as one of the most colorful and accomplished
personalities in all of auto racing. He built the famous
Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio in 1954, and along with
wife Berneice built it into one of the most successful racing
facilities in the world. Earl and Berneice retired in late
2004 with the sale of the track to Nextel Cup star Tony
Stewart. Earl is a past recipient of the Auto Racing Promoter
of the Year award, and is a member of both the National Sprint
Car Hall of Fame and the National Dirt Late Model Hall of
Fame. In addition to his involvement at Eldora Speedway,
Baltes also through the years owned or operated a host of
racing venues that included Salem Speedway, Limaland, New
Bremen, Dayton Speedway, Millstream, and Mansfield, Ohio. Earl
is also the architect of the two largest short track events in
history. The Eldora Million for dirt late models, paying $1
million to race winner Donnie Moran, was held in 2001, and the
Mopar Million offered a $1 million purse for traditional
sprint cars in 2003, with $200,000 going to race winner Jac
Haudenschild. Many major events introduced by Baltes continue
to influence the course of the sport, including the World 100,
the Late Model Dream, the Kings Royal, the Mopar Thunder, and
the 4-Crown Nationals. Earl will be present at the Tulsa Expo
Center throughout the running of this year's O'Reilly Chili
Bowl Nationals, meeting and greeting the multitudes of loyal
short track fans who make the January event one of the most
important racing events of the year. It is also expected that Baltes will participate in a public book signing of his
autobiography EARL!, published in early 2005. For Chili Bowl
