Cory Kruseman battled past Danny Lasoski at the midway point then held off ÃÂÃÂThe DudeÃÂÃÂ over the final rounds to win Saturday nightÃÂÃÂs 18th Annual OÃÂÃÂReilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals 50-lap feature at Tulsa Expo Raceway. With the victory, Kruseman joins Sammy Swindell and Dan Boorse as the only multi-time winners of the nationÃÂÃÂs most prestigious Midget racing event. Piloting the second Andy Bondio entry as KrusemanÃÂÃÂs teammate, USAC triple crown champion J.J. Yeley put the finishing touches on perhaps the most spectacular performance in Chili Bowl history by snaring the show position after swapping third with Tony Stewart a handful of times over the final rounds. YeleyÃÂÃÂs incredible drive included 120 laps of intense action and 69 positions gained after starting the day in the second ÃÂÃÂFÃÂÃÂ Main.(more info at the Chili Bowl site) Been told there will be NO TV coverage [taped or otherwise] for the Chili Bowl.(1-12-2004)
