CENTER LINE, Mich. - As racing stars from all over the country converge in
the nation's heartland for the 18th annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals,
Team Mopar's strong presence at the event is sure to spice up the
competition. Set for Tulsa, Okla., January 7 - 10, the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals boasts
over 215 entries for the 2004 event. Of the record-breaking entry list, 18
machines will fire under Mopar power. Coming off an epic 2003 racing season,
it's no wonder that Mopar brand power is in high demand for open-wheel racing
competition.
NASCAR standout and Team Mopar owner Tony Stewart will headline the brand's
Chili Bowl effort, as he is scheduled to compete in the No. 71 Keith Kunz
Motorsports entry clad with the distinctive Mopar barbed wire paint scheme. Stewart
will have his work cut out for him, however, as he attempts to capture his
second Chili Bowl title. Tracy Hines looks for his first event win in his No. 11
Wilke-Pak Motorsports Mopar machine. Cory Kruseman, Josh Wise and Jay Drake
are also scheduled to compete during the four-day event, stirring the
proverbial "pot" of Chili Bowl odds.
Team Mopar's Danny "The Dude" Lasoski will also be back in action, as he will
be seeking his twelfth A-main start. Lasoski is second only to Sammy Swindell
and Kevin Doty in Chili Bowl feature event starts. Lasoski finished second in
the O'Reilly World of Outlaw Series Championship in 2003, and a Chili Bowl
triumph would be the perfect appetizer for his 2004 season.
