A perennial dark horse contender, Josh Ford contending for Chili Bowl bragging rights shouldn't come as much of a surprise after winning a second Chili Bowl preliminary feature event last year.

Running in a mix of action in 2008, Josh reeled in three USAC Western States Midget wins with 14 top-tens in wingless Sprint Car action, ranking ninth in USAC-CRA Sprint Car points despite running only a portion of the schedule.
