22nd Annual Dodge Chili Bowl Midget Nationals Saturday Lineups

TULSA, Okla. (January 12, 2008) -- Four nights of wild racing action atop Tulsa Expo Raceway's 1-4-mile clay oval inside the QuikTrip Center have set the stage for Saturday's Bass Pro Shops Championship feature events at the 22nd Annual Dodge Chili Bowl Nationals.

A record total of 274 competitors have duked it out over the course of 76 races entailing 776 laps of spine tingling action since Tuesday night to set the lineups for Saturday's 21 feature events.

A pair of California shoes at are the top of the heap, with Wednesday's Creek Nation Casino Qualifying Showdown winner Josh Ford drawing the pole position and Friday's O'Reilly Auto Parts Qualifying winner Damion Gardner drawing the front row outside. Thursday's Warren CAT Qualifying winner Brad Kuhn grids Saturday night's "A" Main event inside the second row.

Those unable to take in all the action first hand can still get their fix by listening to the day's early action on www.racinboys.com and then catching the twin "C" and "B" Mains along with the championship "A" Main event live on HBO Pay-Per-View.

A dozen drivers have already locked themselves into the grand finale, with the remaining dozen to be determined through the day's action.

Defending race winner Tony Stewart starts on the front row of the first "B" Main and J.J. Yeley, author of spectacular alphabet runs in the past, starts the day out deep in the field of the first "E" Main.

Those locked in to the main event, and their Chili Bowl backgrounds, include:

Josh Ford (Ventura, CA) -- Makes his second main event start in seven tries after adding a Wednesday night win to his 2005 preliminary triumph.

Damion Gardner (Pittsboro, IN) -- The California native makes his second start in six attempts and first since 2003.

Brad Kuhn (Avon, IN) -- Enjoying his sixth Chili Bowl, Kuhn makes a third consecutive main event start after beginning his streak with a 15th to fourth run in 2006.

Dave Darland (Walton, IN) -- Makes his tenth overall Chili Bowl main event start and ninth in a row, not missing the big show since 1999, the same year that current car owner Steve Lewis last appeared at the Chili Bowl (then with Jason Leffler).

Aaron Fiscus (Sun Prairie, WI) -- Made the cut for his second Chili Bowl finale in nine tries and the first since 1995.

Jon Stanbrough (Avon, IN) -- In his fifth Chili Bowl appearance, makes the grade for Saturday night for the fourth consecutive year and starts out in a better position than ever.

Jason Leffler (Long Beach, CA) -- Ready for his tenth Chili Bowl main event in 13 tries and third in a row, a runner-up finish ten years ago is the best of three top-tens.

Jerry Coons, Jr. (Tucson, AZ) -- Making his ninth championship main event start in a dozen tries, Coons has now made seven of the last eight and will try to crack the top-five, if not take the win, for the first time.

Shane Cottle (Kokomo, IN) -- Made it as a rookie in 2000 with a runner-up finish and makes his fifth main event start in nine tries after a fourth-place finish last year.

Cole Whitt (Alpine, CA) -- Already competing in his third Chili Bowl, the 16-year-old makes his first start in the Big Dance.

Kasey Kahne (Enumclaw, WA) -- Making his fifth main event start in nine tries, Kahne has vowed to keep trying until he wins one. Will this be the year?

Bryan Clauson (Noblesville, IN) -- Sitting out last year to recover from injuries, the 18-year-old that is already on NASCAR's fast track makes his first Chili Bowl championship main event start in four attempts.
