Live From Tulsa: Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Friday Updates

Three nights of preliminary action down, two to go at the 36th running of the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals. Seventy-eight drivers will be in action Thursday night with hopes of locking into Saturday's A-Main. FloRacing will be on location throughout the night to bring you the latest updates as you watch in person or live on FloRacing. 

FRIDAY UPDATES

A-Main Recap

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. led the field to the green flag with Sam Johnson to his outside. After a quick caution on the opening lap, Johnson ripped the topside of the race track to lead the opening lap. Johnson eventually cleared Stenhouse a few laps later and began pulling away. 

Meanwhile, Justin Grant closed in on Stenhouse and took over the second position. As lapped traffic began to slow Johnson's pace up front, Grant used a long green flag run to close the gap. Entering turn one on Lap 16, Grant threw a slider on Johnson and slid up in front of him to take over the race lead. 

A group of late yellows gave Stenhouse an opportunity to challenge Grant, and he did just that. Stenhouse cleared Grant for the lead with five laps to go; however, a caution immediately after negated the pass. 

Stenhouse mounted multiple challenges on both the inside and outside in the final laps, but he wasn't able to complete the pass. 

Grant's win was his fifth Friday night preliminary night victory in the last six years.
