TULSA, Okla. – Much like the late Jason Leffler used to do inside the Tulsa Expo Center, Jake Swanson dug in and got his elbows up during Hard Rock Casino Qualifying Night on Wednesday. Swanson, who normally competes with the AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series and finished fifth in points with that tour last year, had a banner preliminary night in his attempt to make the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals finale for the second time. The 25-year-old product of Anaheim,...more

TULSA, Okla. – C.J. Leary may not have locked himself into Saturday night’s Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals finale on Thursday, but he and car owner Alex Bowman certainly proved that they’ve found speed as the week has rolled on. After Bowman earned a top-10 finish during his preliminary night, Leary upped the ante by challenging for a lock-in spot throughout the 25-lap feature on John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night. He nearly came away with it, too. Leary came at...more

That means that Friday night’s Vacuworx...more
