He has yet to take home the title at Nathan's, but with Joey Chestnut not competing in the contest this year, Wehry hopes he has a shot. Plus, he's bested Chestnut before in wing-eating and pistachio-eating competitions. "If my body cooperates on that given day. I've been practicing since January," he said. "It will be a fight to the finish."You can watch them compete this July 4th at 12 p.m. on ESPN 2 in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
