9) While the majority of the 35 entries hail from the state of Wisconsin, drivers have traveled from as far away as California, Georgia and Florida for this year’s event. Derek Thorn will represent the state of California, while former Slinger Nationals winner Bubba Pollard returns to represent Georgia.
