ONBOARD | Christopher Bell Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals January 16th, 2021

[@ryanloomans6289]

Would be awesome to have him add some commentary over the video just to hear a little of what he was thinking during the race

[@cpool2978]

Would have been even better if you hadn't put the commercial right at the point of impact 🤬

[@jayzee2977]

The harder he drives into the corner the more pissed that engine sounds. Love it!

[@timhamilton4409]

That just shows you how well made these cars are he flipped multiple times and and the structure of the driver’s compartment isn’t even bent that bad

[@sgtpepper6379]

If it was well made it wouldn't flip so easily in the first place. Don't know whose brilliant idea it was to make the car taller than it is wide.

[@timhamilton4409]

@@sgtpepper6379 it wasn’t the car, when you are sliding on dirt and you hit a rut in the track flipping is usually what happens to you in midgets

[@Corky3D]

@@sgtpepper6379 It's part of taming the beast to say. One reason why I race open wheel midget and sprint cars compared to late model or modified. Christopher hit the cushion a little wrong, which caused him to bike and then he landed on the left sides real hard. I've seen modifieds and late models hitting a cushion, not as often but it happens.

[@KillyJoe]

Well you can’t just make a car any size you want if you want to race at venue like this anyway. If that was the point every vehicle with 4 wheels would look the same

[@timelord2117]

@@KillyJoe well, Kinda sorta. The rules are super thin, no weight min, and if it looks kinds like a midget ok, see bondio with short downtubes and bicycle wheel cars, swindell feul tank... they have said "no sprint car v8's" but a few times past teams have tried v-6 or two motorcyle 4 made into 8 cyl. this year a couple guys were running micro 10 in wheels instead of the normal midget 13. anyways, half the 320ish cars would be very far from legal in a USAC race

[@KahunasGarage]

12:30 for flip

[@InsomniacMechanic]

GREAT INSIGHT OF WHAT THESE MAD BUGGERS GO THROUGH, DONT STOP POSTING BUDDY

[@OakleeF3]

A European... That isn’t rude to American motor sports?? I’m sorry sir we need to take an alcohol test

[@sijonda]

Doesn't play an add the whole time then sticks one in right when the inside rear tire lifts of the ground.

[@truffleshuffle009]

That is youtube, not the uploader.

Legit same thing happened to me

@@truffleshuffle009 I can confirm, it is the uploader and not youtube

[@truffleshuffle009]

@@GavinRopchan No you can't they don't choose where the ad runs unless it's a sponsored video. Edit: I am editing because it's not actually KZbind that chooses when an ad plays or what ad plays its google that does that.

[@GavinRopchan]

@@truffleshuffle009 i have ads on my own youtube videos dude, I know how it works. I can choose where the ads play in the middle of the video.

[@jamiedalluge9472]

Congrats to larson

[@steveo4575]

You can tell bell was saving until the end, wasn’t even hitting full throttle down the straight first half of the race! Always an entertaining race

[@TroyPennington]

Likely because of a full fuel load, or else you'd just be doing wheels tanks every lap. Once the track went away and fuel burnt off

[@steveo4575]

@@TroyPennington possibly- he did say before the race he would be conservative until the end as well!

[@weeklymovietrailers1892]

He was doing that to conserve his tires and fuel

[@sonnymorrison9734]

jason rogers he was running on the chip the Intire race as fast as he could run he couldn't pass grant until he made a mistake. Good race thanks for sharing 👍

[@zachwilson7061]

@@sonnymorrison9734 not at all

[@matthewscott135]

That was a crazy last 10 laps. Watched the hole race and seen more wrecking in the last few laps.

[@truffleshuffle009]

It was a shame to crash like that.

[@PreyPSN]

Well it’s gonna happen some time

[@mikebrown6323]

Greeeaaaat Share. Thank U. Suxx to end like that for him. Was fixin to excitin

[@jonnyhotrod1515]

That was fixing to get real intence

[@anitagarrison6916]

Heartbreaking end for C Bell 💔.

[@shadyace7262]

Thank you!

[@colebaker___]

Larson almost flipped himself too on the ruts in the track. Tough luck right there. He was MOVING at the end

[@joshbarlow581]

What size/kind of midgets are these?? I don't know a lot about dirt car racing..

[@kwasg3]

Never been to chili bowl. Is that dirt over a concrete or blacktop base? Infield looks paved and there's a painted white line... great vid..

[@nataliecolby8476]

It's dirt over the buildings concrete floor.

[@6cylturbo]

Was sooooooo hoping for better outcome

[@mt-of5dh]

Really fast all week. Tough luck. Always next time

[@plh6711]

Checkers or wreckers I love it

[@jcearnhardt393]

Bell was coming baby, he caught a rut in the middle of the track. Him and Larson just flat on a another level him them cars. Anybody that denies that has never actually been to a race where either one of them is is racing. Bell is as good as Larson

[@eddonahue2756]

No, I would have to argue with you on that. In Sprint cars Kyle is King. There is nobody better today. I agree Bell is good but if they raced every week Bell might win one out of fifty. Everyone has a bad day once in awhile.

[@nickphilkill8287]

Tanner Thorson of USAC beat them both last year. Justin Grant is very very good as well.

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

Best Midget driver on the planet right now, according to Kyle Larson.

[@bradbrooksher1125]

Hope he is okay. Respect for racing that hard though

[@RAHNOLD77]

The safety worker who was checking on him should have said "hi welcome to chili's"

[@Volan21]

Bell doesn’t crash that much but he has had some spectacular crashes

[@DukeOfTwist]

Do you know what camera & audio they film that on?

[@tylerabbott8147]

GoPro

[@patgwin7869]

2nd is the first loser...props to CB for pushing it to the limit.

[@tigertownusa9415]

Can’t believe the camera survived the crash

[@sonnymorrison9734]

He better do something different next year because on the long greens Larson had a straight away ahead,he made that little mistake and bell got close after that he Larson started to get going again bell flips trying to keep up Go Larson 👍👍

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Wow. What a drive. That sucked for him.

[@jamesisthemanevaro1301]

SIKKKKK

[@jerrycoggin9434]

Bummer

[@sydneymarie67]

The second he started flat footing it he lost time. If your spinning, you ain't winning.

[@sonnymorrison9734]

Great video thanks he was just out drove as a result of the race 👍 to Larson.

[@billythehillbilly7542]

Stupid add as soon as he gets up on the bike.

[@Danny-ur4bf]

larson defiantly got a little more sideways than intended and caused that

[@michaelmackenzie9589]

No sutch thing as safety i see all these people in the centre of the track and no barriers ridiculous

[@Huntinggolds]

There are barriers

[@michaelmackenzie9589]

Yes but not continues and they are spaced to far apart and also not high enough

[@kurtwesterfield1729]

@@michaelmackenzie9589 you have no clue what you’re talking about do you ?

[@MrChill156]

This race has happened for 35 years and there’s never been an issue with infield safety.

[@jordimeese5207]

Did you ever see anyone in the infield get hit after 35 years of this race taking place, plus the Tulsa shootout that happens the week before this race?
