The 30th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals set the mark at 349 entries, but the 31st edition just smashed that record as 358 entries have been turned in for the annual Midget car race.

With the 31st annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals slated for January 10-14 inside Tulsa, Oklahoma’s River Spirit Expo Center, there is still time to further that record as entries can be accepted all the way up until the final preliminary night on January 13.

The question now is can the attendance record of 335 be broken? The mark was also set during the 30th annual event.

Among the latest round of entries includes some of Sprint Car racing’s royalty like Wooster, Ohio’s Jac Haudenschild. The three time A-Feature starter is known for his over the top, win or wear it driving style and is scheduled to pilot the JFM No. 73x again in 2017. Jac is also among the few father/son combinations in this year’s Chili Bowl, as Sheldon Haudenschild will wheel a ride for Mike Larson/Keith Kunz Motorsports.

Jac Haudenschild is one of 57 past A-Feature starters that currently populate the list of 2017 hopefuls.
