I think it would be very neat to see how many different drivers have raced at the Chili Bowl. And how many times they have raced there. Someone must have enough time to put something like this on the Chili Bowl webpage. I am guessing close to 500 different drivers.

Don't they have that information in the Chili Bowl program?

I'd bet that 500 is a low number. Closer to 800 if I were to file an entry in the "let's guess until someone posts the right answer" game.

I'd bet that 500 is a low number. Closer to 800 if I were to file an entry in the "let's guess until someone posts the right answer" game.



They probably have the complete results in all the programs but I have missed a few years.

Would be interesting to see how the car count has changed through the years also . entries haven't always been counted in the hundreds.

I've been to most of them... It used to be a 2 day event with the stands about half full and 40 or so cars...

I may be able to help a little here. First off, Marty has some great stats and puts in lots of work to get them sorted and organized, so kudos to him. Jimbo, I just happen to have that number that you are looking for. Although some of the official finishes are sketchy in the early years, I am confident that we have the count to within a couple of drivers. Speedbump is closer but I will not give the actual number right now in case more people want to guess (at least until someone gets it really close).

Gasit - to answer your question, I have Doty as finishing in the B Feature in 1989 and Olson 5th in the A.

Hope this helps. I will try to check this thread over the weekend to see if anyone gets it and do some more number crunching to see if we can get some more trivia questions (if anyone is interested).

IM JUST GUESSING :

Oldest to run the Chili Bowl :
Vern Komppa of Elm Grove, WI was 76 years old when he raced in the Chili Bowl in 1998. Other drivers: LeRoy VanConnet & Big "AL"Murie? (not for sure on their age)

Youngest to Run Chili Bowl :
Trey Robb and Chad Boat both were 13 years of age when they ran the Chili Bowl.

Other Young drivers : Justin Allgaier, Bryan Clauson, Korey Weyant ,Conner Pullen and Zach Daum all raced their first chili bowl at the age of 14 years old.

I believe that Chad and Trey are both 14 now....there was a kid a few years ago that ran who was 12.

There was also and old dude a few years ago from OK that was in his 70's, I can't remember his name.

I believe that Marty is correct on both parts. Vern Komppa (sp?) was the oldest and I show Trey and Chad as the youngest. As for the exact number, I have 839 different drivers that have participated in the Chili Bowl at one time or another. Not official but as close as it gets. Can't wait until Tuesday!

Would be nice to see all 839 names somewhere. Just curious who all has been at the Bowl.
