MDR teams up with Abby Hohlbein to pilot the 22M at the 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Ok.
CHARLOTTE, Nc. (December 17, 2025) - 19-year-old Abby Hohlbein from Cloverdale, OH. will join Marc Dailey as the second MDR entry into the 2026 Chili Bowl. Abby will pilot the #22M as a Rookie contender. The 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals takes place January 12th-17th at the Tulsa Expo Center in Tulsa, Ok.
"I'm excited to be chasing a driller at my first Chili Bowl Nationals with MDR as his second entry. The Chili Bowl is one of the biggest events in our sport, and returning with the same team I raced my first Tulsa Shootout with makes this opportunity especially meaningful," states the Ohio Heartbreaker. Although this is her first Chili Bowl, she brings multiple years of driving experience, including a win in the 2021 USAC Regional Midget Kokomo Clash XV.
"I am excited to work with Abby. She drove micros with us at the shootout a few years ago, while it was early in her career. I've kept an eye on her, and she has progressed quite well. She has matured as a driver, and we are looking forward to working with her again at the Chili Bowl." Commented owner Marc Dailey.
Marc Dailey will pilot the Moon & Dagger Tattoo, Blue Emu, and Bikini Zone #2MD for MDR. This will be his 10th Chili Bowl Nationals. A possible third entry will be announced at a later date.
