Tanner Thorson Dominates John
Christner Trucking Qualifying
Night!
Bryan Hulbert – TULSA,
Okla. (January 12, 2023) Putting things in
overdrive on Saturday night,
Tanner Thorson served notice
with an absolutely dominating
performance on Thursday’s John
Christner Trucking Qualifying
Night at the 37th annual Lucas
Oil Chili Bowl Nationals
presented by General Tire.
What looked like a rocky start
to his night with a spin in his
OERB Heat Race, Thorson
immediately bounced back to win
his opening laps of competition.
Sixth to second in his Team
Toyota Qualifier, from there, it
was lights out for the Maestro
Classic/Bob Hurley RV No. 88
“I thought my prelim night was
over at the start of that Heat
Race. I was just kind of waiting
to get hit, luckily enough I
didn’t and was able to keep
going,” stated Thorson on the
start of his night.
Working the top of the Tulsa
Expo Raceway at all ends, the
No. 88 went unchallenged through
four cautions, with each one
keeping the leaders from
contending with traffic. Slowing
down for the final time on Lap
24, the gap over second grew to
1.376-seconds at the finish.
Chased the entire 30 laps by
Emerson Axsom, the AME Electric
No. 19t was solidly in second
the entire race. A battle
through several restarts for the
show position, the spot finally
went to fifth, starting Brady
Bacon, who made the pass on Lap
24. Tim Buckwalter made it to
fourth from ninth, with Tanner
Carrick rolling from eleventh to
fifth.
Racing third from the start, the
race with Bacon slipped Sarff
out of his groove and slipped
him back to sixth. Chase
Johnson, in seventh, was pursued
by California’s Ryan Bernal, who
came from 17th to eighth.
Dominic Gorden and Joe B. Miller
made the top ten.
John Christner Trucking
Qualifying night included 72
drivers, bringing the event
count to 289 for the week.
The 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl
Nationals presented by General
