Freeman takes Mod win at RC Chili Bowl

Running alongside its full size oval racing counterpart, the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals, it was Zachary Freeman who came away with the SC Modified win at the ninth edition of the RC Chili Bowl held in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Attracting over 500 entries, the Scotty Ernst organised event is one of the biggest in the industry with its tented indoor pit area packed with manufacturers involved in the R/C oval racing scene.  Concluding the 2023 edition of the RC Chili Bowl was the final of SC Modified presented by HobbyWing.  All throughout qualifying it had been Zac Rose and Addison Krol, throwing down the heat for the ladies, going back and forth for the top spot with Rose edging out Krol to take the TQ honours.  It would be a super smooth start for the 10 car field with all drivers holding their starting positions for the opening laps.   A huge pile up in turn 4 however collected almost all the cars and would shake up the entire order creating a completely new race.  Third place qualifier Zachary Freeman would come out on top in the lead holding that position to the end with Krol finishing on the same lap fpr second.  Dropping back to sixth, Rose would recover to come through to complete the podium.
