The second of five preliminary nights at the Chili Bowl Nationals is done and dusted. Let’s take a quick look at where those preliminary finishers from Tuesday will land in Saturday’s famed alphabet soup.

TO THE A-MAIN (1-2) – Buddy Kofoid, Hank Davis

TO THE B-MAINS (3-8) – Chase McDermand, David Gravel, Kameron Key, Thomas Meseraull, Landon Brooks, Kevin Thomas Jr.

TO THE C-MAINS (9-14) – Zach Daum, Jake Bubak, Corbin Rueschenberg, Parker Price-Miller, Jake Andreotti, Kyle Strickler

TO THE D-MAINS (15-20) – Billy VanInwegen Jr., Elijah Gile, Justin Zimmerman, KJ Snow, Nick Drake, Jake Neuman

TO THE E-MAINS (21-24) – Kinzer Edwards, CJ Sarna, Clinton Boyles, Cap Henry


It was another Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports victory on Tuesday as Buddy Kofoid followed Tanner Carrick to make KKM 2-for-2 on the week. The Penngrove, CA native earned his second preliminary win and locked-in for his fourth Chili Bowl Championship A-Main with a dominating 30-lap run aboard the Mobil 1 #71W.

For the second-straight year, Hank Davis proved that he’s one of the most underrated drivers in the building. Defending his preliminary win from a year ago, the Sand Springs, OK native wheeled the Matt Seymour Racing #29S to a second-place finish behind Kofoid. He’s locked-in for his second Chili Bowl Championship A-Main.

Chase McDermand moved to Trifecta Motorsports to pilot the #7U, but still made it back-to-back preliminary podiums with a third-place run. David Gravel kept Abacus Racing’s hot streak alive with an 11th-to-4th run in his debut with the USAC champions. Kameron Key enjoyed a career-best in the TKH Motorsports #21J, finishing 5th to earn a ticket into Saturday’s B-Main.

Thomas Meseraull, in a new ride with Tim Engler and Jon Farrell, ended up 6th ahead of Matt Wood Racing driver Landon Brooks in 7th and Kevin Thomas Jr. in 8th after recovering from a Heat Race crash. All will go to the B-Main.

Several notables that are C-Main bound on Saturday include Zach Daum in the Andy Bondio #47X, Jake Bubak, Corbin Rueschenberg driving for Tanner Thorson, Parker Price-Miller in a Dave Mac Motorsports ride, Jake Andreotti in the Spike Chassis house car, and late model runner Kyle Strickler in his Chili Bowl debut.
