Yeley, World of Outlaws stars Danny Lasoski and Jason Meyers, 2004 USAC Sprint Car champion and former Chili Bowl winner Jay Drake, two-time Chili Bowl champ Dan Boorse, 2004 USAC Midget king Bobby East, midget hotshoe Davey Ray and wingless sprint aces Damion Gardner and Jon Stanbrough.
The Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores Thursday Night Thunder at the Bowl Qualifier is headlined by NASCAR Nextel Cup stars Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne, with other top contenders including NASCAR Craftsman Truck competitor Tracy Hines, Badger Midget champion Scott Hatton, World of Outlaws racer Kraig Kinser, Josh Wise, Tyler Walker, ASCS champion Gary Wright, ARDC kingpin Ray Bull, USAC Western States champion Johnny Rodriguez and Australian champion Adam Clarke.
