A winner of more than 80 Midget feature events since 1974, the racing veteran returns to action after missing last year's edition of the Chili Bowl.

The two-time USAC Midget titleist (1982 and 1987) made just three starts in 2007, with an eighth-place run in the POWRi-sanctioned Bob Wente Memorial at Tri-City Speedway on October 7 the best of two top-ten finishes.
