22 strong the “Show me the MONEY” series hit the track for 125 Laps With Justin Bonnett #12 (Grandson a Neil Bonnett) starting on the pole after the redraw. This race was the first back for Bonnett since his incident at the Snowflake race at 5 flags Speedway in December. The Ingles Demolition sponsored team had many hurdles to clear in order to find themselves in this position. After a good practice session on Friday July 31^st the motor broke on the #12 car sending the team into hurry up mode to find another motor and get it in the car before the event stated the next day.

When the green flag dropped Bonnett showed his team why they worked so hard to get the car in the show. Bonnett took the lead and had a very solid run. Jett Noland #81 piloting the Anthony Campi entry show his muscle wrestling the lead awayon lap 5 with Bonnett right behind him. Plenty of good racing was displayed for the MMS fans. Lap 76 saw Alabama 200 winner and “Show me the MONEY” points leader #35 Jake Garcia make his move for the lead on lap 76 after starting eighth. Although he was challenged he held the top spot till the checkers fell.
