It's considered the "Super Bowl" of midget racing, featuring intense competition and a unique, temporary dirt oval built inside the SageNet Center.
What Is the Difference Between the Chili Bowl and Tulsa Shootout?
The Tulsa Shootout is an annual micro sprint racing event held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It features six divisions of Micro Sprints: Jr. Sprints, Restricted A-Class, Winged A-Class, Stock Non-Wing, Non-Wing Outlaw, and Winged Outlaw.
