Bowman will only participate in the race as a team owner. The cars will be piloted by Jake Swanson, C.J. Leary, Kevin Thomas Jr, and Briggs Danner, who is joining the team for the first time. However, he carries ample experience, having spent close to two decades in racing.
The Chili Bowl Nationals is held almost immediately after the Tulsa Shootout in the same region but with a different class of cars. Midget cars are smaller with less power and have the capacity to run on quarter-mile tracks.
The event will be held at the Tulsa Expo Raceway beginning from January 12th till the 18th.
Alex Bowman on his preparations ahead of the 2025 Chili Bowl Nationals
About a month before the Chili Bowl Nationals, Alex Bowman discussed his preparations ahead of entering the tournament as a team owner. He mentioned that they were preparing to field a fourth entry in the event.
Discussing this with Frontstretch, he further mentioned that two of their cars required a lot of work, also expressing his passion for building these cars with the team.
"Jake's car is the same car so it's been done since the summer. CJ's car is a new car but we built it last season so it's been pretty done. The other two have been a lot of work," he said. [at 0:15]
"So, I'm in a good spot typically. I'm thrashing like on Christmas day still this year. I mean I should be done with them this weekend, barring any issues. Feel like you always run into something building new cars, but yeah, I love that stuff, I love spending time in my shop and I'm way further ahead than I normally am."
As for Alex Bowman, he is prepared to enter the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with Hendrick Motorsports. This is set to be his eighth full-time season with them.
