Meyers 12th after Swindells, Sweet in Chili Bowl

Clovis driver Jason Meyers, the former two-time World of Outlaws national sprint car tour champion, took a turn in a midget last weekend and raced to 12th place in the 25th annual Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Okla.

The race, considered the kickoff of the season and run on dirt indoors, was won for the fourth straight year by Kevin Swindell, who held off his dad, five-time Chili Bowl winner Sammy Swindell, in the 55-lap feature.

Brad Sweet of Grass Valley was third driving for Visalia car owner Gary Zarounian.

Meyers started 18th, spun out on lap 10 then rallied to 12th. He qualified for the feature by finishing third in a 15-lap B-Feature.

In all 268 drivers from 32 states plus Canada, Australia and Finland raced. Of the 48 rookies, D.J. Netto of Hanford was the only rookie to qualify for a B-Feature, ending 17th after spinning early.

Jace and Richard VanderWeerd of Visalia had a good night, too. Richard finished second in a 15-lap C-Feature and 14th in a B-Feature; Jace was 17th in the other C-Feature after advancing out of a D-Feature with a third-place finish.

Other central San Joaquin Valley drivers who competed last week: David Prickett, Fresno, fifth in a D-Feature and did not finish in his C-Feature; Tanner Swanson, Kingsburg, third in his F-Feature and 12th in his E-Feature.
