Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (December 22, 2023) Just days away from rigs, cars, and equipment filling the SageNet Center at Expo Square, the American Waste Control Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink has already exceeded the early entry counts of the 2023 edition.
Happening December 27-31, early entry ended on December 13, with 1,608 received, which is 69 more than what was entered before last year’s event.
Expecting another 100-200 to enter during move-in on December 26, the entry record was set during the 2022 edition of the ‘Mecca of Micros’ with 1,739 entries received. Last year’s event set the record for total entries confirmed at 1,655.
A proving ground for drivers looking to partake in the upcoming Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink, several will pull double-duty, including defending Chili Bowl Champion, Logan Seavey, who is back behind the wheel of the Kevin and Jordan Swindell owned No. 39. The California shoe is entered in both stock and outlaw divisions.
While Seavey looks to gain laps, for Jake Hagopian, it’s the end of a driving career, that includes three Golden Drillers. Not done with the sport, Jake plans to place his focus on other aspects of the sport, as well as his family.
Always bringing a wild mix of talents to Tulsa, one of Late Model racing’s best will return for another shot at a Golden Driller. Nearly picking one up in 2023, Arizona’s Ricky Thorton, Jr. will also be giving 20 different drivers $500.
