Stanbrough enters the 22nd Annual Chili Bowl Nationals on the heels of a career season that netted 30 feature wins in Wingless Sprint Car competition.  Victories came at eleven different tracks, with Gas City (eight), Kokomo (seven), Bloomington (five) and Lawrenceburg (four) his most frequent ATM's.  Other victories came at North Vernon, Brownstown, Morgan County, Haubstadt and Boswell.  Three triumphs came during Indiana Sprint Week, with Stanbrough also earning KISS title honors (King of Indiana Sprint Series).

Eighty-five of Stanbrough's 115 career feature wins have come during four of the past five seasons, with his 30 wins in 2007 trumping campaigns of 21 wins in 2006, 19 wins in 2003 and 15 wins in 2004.

After an alphabet run in his initial Chili Bowl appearance in 2004, Stanbrough has made it to three consecutive Chili Bowl championship main events and makes a run for a first career Midget feature win and the Golden Driller trophy in this year's Chili Bowl Nationals.
