Badger Drivers & past Champions looking towards Chili Bowl

Midget auto racing turns it’s attention to the five-day 31st annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals presented by General Tire starting on Tuesday January 10 at the River Spirit Expo Center.
Four past Badger Drivers Champions and four past car owner champions are among the record 358 drivers entered. Dan Boorse is the only driver to win the Badger Midget title and Chili Bowl in the same season, turning the feat in 1999. Boorse won the Chili Bowl again in 2003, but finished second in Badger points.
The four past Badger Owner Champions will be fielding a total of 14-cars led by the eight-car assault from Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports (2014 Champion). Two car efforts will come from Manic Racing (2015 Champion), RAB Racing (2013 Champion), and Wilke-PAK Motorsports(’82, ’87, ’88, 95, ’03 Champions).
Listed below is a breakdown by race night of drivers who competed with Badger during the 2016 season and past champions competing.
