"The Dude" collected his eighth career Knoxville Raceway championship in 2008.  Three of his ten overall feature wins came at Knoxville, with other wins including a World of Outlaws score at Volusia Speedway Park, an ASCS National win at Oklahoma City, an ASCS Northwest Speedweek win at Grays Harbor and a WOW triumph at Sedalia.

After missing last year's finale by just one position, the 2001 WoO champ tries to break back into the Chili Bowl championship main event for the 15th time in his career.
