One of only four drivers to top the Chili Bowl Nationals on more than one occasion, Cory will be gunning for the Golden Driller after missing the main event cut over each of the past two seasons.

Already a winner of 100 features this decade as the 2008 season fired to life, Cory added four more feature wins in USAC-CRA competition as he busied himself with a driver development program that is benefiting several young drivers.

Adding five Chili Bowl preliminary feature wins to his two Saturday night conquests, seven of Cory's 15 career Midget feature wins have come atop the Tulsa Expo Raceway clay at the Chili Bowl Nationals aboard the Andy Bondio's familiar No. 47.
