Chili Bowl Nationals Tickets

Engines crackle in an enclosed building, the clay gets worked into shape, and the racing feels closer, louder, and more intense than almost anywhere else in motorsports.

This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Chili Bowl Nationals works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.

About Chili Bowl Nationals

The Chili Bowl Nationals is one of auto racing’s most storied dirt-track events: an annual indoor midget car spectacle held each January in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Tulsa Expo Center (SageNet Center / Tulsa Expo Raceway). First held in 1987, it’s now in its fourth decade and is widely regarded as the premier and most prestigious midget car race in the world—often called “the Super Bowl of midget racing.”

What makes the event special is its week-long, high-volume elimination format. With entry lists routinely exceeding 300–360 cars, drivers battle through preliminary qualifying nights (typically Monday through Friday) that include qualifying, heat races, qualifiers, and a nightly feature. The biggest goal is to advance into Saturday’s championship program and earn a place in the 55-lap A-Main, with late-chance “alphabet-soup” consolation races creating a final pathway to the main event.

A Chili Bowl win comes with the iconic Golden Driller trophy—one of short-track racing’s most coveted prizes—plus a winner’s purse typically in the tens of thousands of dollars. Past standouts include Kevin Swindell, who delivered an unprecedented four straight championships (2010–2013), along with multiple-time winner Christopher Bell and other notable winners like Sammy Swindell, Kyle Larson, Rico Abreu, and Tanner Thorson. The Tulsa Expo Center’s temporary 1/5-mile (0.32 km) indoor dirt oval creates a loud, dust-filled, high-energy environment that builds all week and peaks on championship Saturday. If you’re planning to attend Chili Bowl Nationals, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Chili Bowl Nationals Tickets Cost?

Chili Bowl Nationals tickets typically range from around $20 to $40 for single preliminary-night general admission/reserved seats to $75–$150+ or more for premium reserved seating on the Saturday championship night, with premium packages running higher.

Prices are most influenced by the day of the week (with Saturday’s championship night typically commanding the highest prices), seat proximity to the start/finish line, and whether you’re buying all-week packages vs. single-night tickets. Add-ons like pit/infield access can also raise the overall cost, especially for fans who want a closer look at teams and cars.

Getting Ready for Chili Bowl Nationals Race Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially for an indoor dirt race where the atmosphere is intense, loud, and dusty.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service near large events can get congested on race days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand dates.
• Parking: Expect on-site and surrounding lots at the Tulsa Expo Square / Expo Center fairgrounds complex.
• Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at the Expo Square complex.
• Public Transit: Most attendees drive, and local Tulsa Transit bus service operates in the area.
• What to bring: Hearing protection is strongly recommended in the enclosed indoor environment, and dressing in layers helps for January conditions. Eye protection can also help with track dust.
