Tyler Groenendyk
TG:To make his first Chili Bowl appearance in 2011
Tyler will venture to Tulsa, Oklahoma January 10-15 for the 25th Annual Midget Nationals! Competing against the best in the sport, Tyler is ready to try his hand at the famed ¼ mile clay oval.
These Nationals are known simply as The Chili Bowl: racing's winter answer to football's Super Bowl. It accommodates over two hundred race rigs, bleachers for thousands of people and an ever-growing trade show. To stroll the aisles of Tulsa's QuikTrip Center, the home of The Golden Driller, is to rub shoulders with champions from across America.
The presence of Sprint talent such as five-time Chili Bowl winner Sammy Swindell is what elevates Midget competition to a level unmatched. The Chili Bowl's key ingredient is the clay which once covered the adjacent fairgrounds. Without sun or wind to harm it, the indoor garden (roughly a quarter-mile circle) is heavily saturated so that the boldest dirt track artists of our time can truly shine.
