A strong performance at the Chili Bowl Nationals two years ago helped push open some doors for Brady Bacon, and the young racer has taken full advantage.  Driving for Kasey Kahne Racing's Mopar team, the 17-year-old ranked fourth in USAC National Sprint Car points and eighth in in USAC National Midget points in 2007.  Back-to-back podium finishes during Indiana Midget Week were the best of Brady's ten top-ten Midget runs, with a third-place finish at Perris Auto Speedway's Oval Nationals headlining his 17 top-tens in 33 Sprint Car feature starts.

With a rare chance to race close to home, Brady makes a run at adding a Golden Driller to the win he earned in Tulsa Shootout action in 2004.
