FIRST TIME WINNERS are fun. It is a rare experience when one of the Crown Jewel races in any discipline is scored by a new winner and the emotion and the enthusiasm is unmatched. No matter how dramatic a finish or special an accomplishment, the excitement never matches the first time a racer fulfills his dream. Tanner Thorson joined the elite club of Chili Bowl winners with a lap 37 pass of race long leader Christopher Bell and it is getting harder and harder for new winners to emerge as drivers like Bell, Kyle Larson and Rico Abreu are all at the height of their powers with very powerful race teams. Thorson, meanwhile, came in with the Reinbold/Underwood team and gave them their first Chili Bowl victory, too.
