The list of exempt bowlers for the 2007-08 Denny’s PBA Tour is set after seven new names completed the 59-man roster following the 2007 Lake County Indiana Denny’s PBA Tour Trials at Stardust Bowl II.

Even though he is only a day away from securing a coveted exemption on the Denny’s PBA Tour, Todd Book refuses to change his mentality in the 2007 Lake County Indiana Denny’s PBA Tour Trials.

With lots of big names and former exempt bowlers in the field, two bowlers without much previous PBA experience are quietly separating themselves from the pack.

Sometimes being in the dark can be a good thing, as Todd Book proved Thursday. Book, who had never seen the Shark oil pattern in competition prior to Thursday, averaged 217.56 on the difficult pattern to take the lead in the 2007 Lake County Indiana Denny’s PBA Tour Trials.

For two bowlers who haven’t yet solved the trick of the Denny’s PBA Tour Trials, being cautiously optimistic is the best attitude after the first day in a long week. Ricky Jewell Jr. and Randy Weiss tied for the lead after the first of five days in the Denny's PBA Tour Trials.

With the 2007 Lake County Indiana Denny’s Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour Trials rapidly approaching, Andrew Cain has been busy mentally and physically preparing for the competition.

This week, the PBA caught up with Kelly Kulick, who last year became the first woman to earn a full-season exemption on the Denny’s PBA Tour, to discuss her return to the Denny’s PBA Tour Trials this June.

The early deadline to enter the 2007 Lake County Indiana Denny’s PBA Tour Trials, which will award seven exemptions for the 2007-08 Denny’s PBA Tour season, is fast approaching as bowlers entering on or before May 1 will receive a discounted price.
