Chili Bowl Nationals hopes dashed for Timms at SageNet Center

Ahead of his Chili Bowl Nationals preliminary night on Friday, Ryan Timms made an early appearance at the Tulsa (OK) Expo Center on Monday evening for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Invitational Race of Champions.

In a highly competitive field during time trials to determine the starting grid for the 25-lap feature, Timms posted the 16th-fastest time in his Keith Kunz-Curb-Agajanian Motorsports No. 67 JBL Audio Midget. However, Timms made a strong charge during the feature, advancing five positions to finish 11th.

Back at the SageNet Center on Friday for his preliminary night, Ryan showcased impressive drives in both his heat race and qualifier. He backed up a strong fifth-to-first performance in his heat with a solid sixth-to-second effort in the second qualifier. Starting from the pole in Friday’s feature, Timms was in control until lap 18, when another competitor spun him around while he was leading, sending him to the back of the field. He salvaged a 15th-place finish from the tail.

Relegated into a D Feature on Saturday night, Ryan rolled to a flag-to-flag victory, advancing him into a C Feature. Needing to place fifth or better to extend his night, Timms’ bid for a Golden Driller ended with a 16th-to-8th outing.
