Californian Logan Seavey joined the ranks of dirt track racing royalty Saturday night, holding off reigning event champion Tanner Thorson to win the 37th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Okla.
Seavey closed the week-long extravaganza at Tulsa Expo Raceway with a rush, winning Friday night’s 30-lap A-Feature qualifier for his first Midget victory in over a year. That effort was quickly topped Saturday night when he led 45 of 55 laps around the quarter-mile clay oval in the No. 39 to edge Thorson by 0.306-seconds under a green-white-checkered flag finish.
The 23rd Chili Bowl champion, Seavey presented car-owners Kevin and Jordan Swindell their first win. The Swindell name now accounts for 14 overall victories in Chili Bowl competition. Of those, 10 produced a Golden Driller trophy _ including four by Kevin Swindell. The pair’s tenure in Tulsa this year included their first win as car-owners at the Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout.
Seavey chuckled when asked how it felt to win on dirt track racing’s biggest stage. “I’ll let you know tomorrow,” said Seavey, a 25-year-old resident of Sutter, Calif. “For now, it feels awesome. It really set in when they handed me the Driller and I got to talk to Kevin a little bit. He deserves it and will probably get a lot more, so to win this race is special. But to win it in the No. 39 on our first try is really cool.”
Seavey currently competes fulltime in U.S. Auto Club P1 Insurance National Midget Championship Midgets in the No. 67 for Keith Kunz Motorsports. He also drives the No. 5B for Chase Briscoe Racing in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on a limited basis.
Seavey’s racing resume includes the 2017 POWRi National Midget championship and 2018 USAC National Midget championship as a rookie. He also won the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix.
Seavey made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut in July 2018 driving the No. 51 Toyota Tundra for two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch and Kyle Busch Motorsports. Seavey also has driven in the ARCA Racing Series for Venturini Motorsports and veteran car-owner Bill Venturini.
After trailing No. 2 qualifier Hank Davis momentarily, the reset for a spun car saw pole-sitter Seavey roll out with the lead on Lap 1. Chased by Cannon McIntosh, the No. 08 kept pace before finally getting the point on Lap 21 with a low side move off Turn 4. McIntosh held the position through traffic but would find his lead challenged following Lap 30. Working the hub of TER before varying his line at either end, Seavey wheeled the No. 39 back to the point on Lap 31.
Simultaneously, Thorson took second. As Seavey and Thorson changed-up their lines in a bid to outrun the other, the track directed the field low with a handful of laps remaining. Thorson was attempting to set up Seavey for a last-lap pass before a caution prompted the green-white-checkered finish.
Falling to fourth at one point, McIntosh rallied into third with California’s Shane Golobic fourth. Emerson Axsom completed the top-five. Improving 10 positions, Kyle Jones stormed to a sixth-place finish with Mitchel Moles in seventh. Trey Marcham advanced from 14th to eighth, followed by Tim Buckwalter, who made an impressive run from 23rd to ninth. Justin Grant completed the top-10.
The 37th annual Chili Bowl Nationals saw 365 drivers officially draw-in. During Saturday’s traditional Alphabet Soup program, Claremore’s Kris Carroll set an event record through “The Soup” with seven races from the N-Feature to the H-Features. Saturday’s run of events was slated for double P-Features. But with drivers scratching, the order began with double O-Features.
The 2023 Rookie of the Year and recipient of the Fuzzy Hahn Highest Finishing Female Award was California’s Jade Avedisian, the only rookie to lock into Saturday’s A-Feature. She is the second woman to do so, with Kaylee Bryson competing in her second consecutive Chili Bowl Nats.
The 2024 Chili Bowl Nationals is scheduled for Jan. 8-13, 2024, at Tulsa Expo Raceway, located inside the SageNet Center. Information on tickets will be released in the next few weeks. Ticket orders will begin on the first Wednesday of March.
