“We are very excited and humbled to represent the Tony Elliott Foundation at the Chili Bowl in 2018. For me the connection is personal as Tony was a great mentor to Bryan when he began his sprint car career and to get to partner with his foundation and to be a part of his legacy is humbling to say the least. I know Tony and Bryan are smiling down on us today.”
The Chili Bowl is one of the most prestigious races of the year and in 2017 had over 375 entries for the 31st annual event where several drivers from all varieties of motorsports over the years have competed including Bryan and Tony, Tony Stewart, Rich Vogler, Sammy Swindell and his son Kevin Swindell.

A driver for the Clauson-Marshall Racing/Tony Elliott Foundation entry will be named during a press conference at the PRI Show in Indianapolis in the coming weeks.
