Larson Crashes Out as Bell Leads NASCAR Charge in 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals
At the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, NASCAR stars including Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Jesse Love and Ty Gibbs competed; Larson led the Monday feature but crashed out of the 30-lap A Main, ending his bid for a third Chili Bowl title. Bell dominated the Race of Champions and finished eighth in the A Main after a late push. Love flipped on the last lap of the A Main and withdrew on Saturday, while Gibbs finished mid-pack and DNFed in the C Main. Other NASCAR entrants posted mixed results, with Creed debuting and advancing before being eliminated in Saturday action, and the rest of the field recording a range of outcomes across prelims to main events.
