Big Money Bringing Big Names To Money In The Bank 150 At Berlin Raceway
Some of Super Late Model racing's biggest names are headed to Berlin Raceway for the Money in the Bank 150 on Wednesday, June 8.
One of the most anticipated pavement Super Late Model races of the year is right around the corner. Berlin Raceway’s “Money in the Bank” 150 on June 8 is just a few weeks away, and the stars of Super Late Model racing will be out in force.
Headlining the entry list currently is the driver who has won the last two runnings of the Money in the Bank, current NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Carson Hocevar. The Michigan native led 131 of the 150 laps in the 2021 edition of the event, and 134 laps on the way to the win the year before.
Joining Hocevar in the headliner’s position on the entry list is NASCAR Cup Series driver, William Byron. The two-time Cup winner this season enters this race as one of the hottest drivers in Super Late Model racing. Byron scored two victories at New Smyrna Speedway in February, a win in the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway, and a win at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Byron will be racing for Donnie Wilson and the Wilson Motorsports team, as he has in every Super Late Model race he’s run this season.
Teammate to Byron at this race will be this year's World Series of Asphalt champion at New Smyrna Speedway, Sammy Smith. The Iowa native is the defending ARCA Menards Series East champion, and he leads the points standings in that series once again with three wins already this season.
One of the hottest Super Late Model racers of the last few years in Ty Majeski will also be heading to Marne, Michigan. The 2020 Snowball Derby champion has never run at the tricky Berlin Raceway, but he’ll definitely be a contender for the win.
Super Late Model racing’s most popular driver, Bubba Pollard, has also entered the event. Pollard, the 2017 Money in the Bank 150 winner, won this last Saturday’s Super Late Model feature at Berlin.
Cole Butcher, a standout from the Canadian Maritimes, will also make his way to Berlin.
Kent City, Michigan native Andrew Scheid nearly stunned the Super Late Model world in the Battle at Berlin last August. Scheid finished third in that event.
Past Berlin raceway track champion Scott Thomas has also filed an entry for the Money in the Bank 150 along with other local favorites like Joe Bush, Lauren Bush-Sokoloski, and Kyle Crump.
Derek Kneeland, the spotter for Tyler Reddick on the NASCAR Cup Series circuit, will make a rare appearance behind the wheel.
Two Outlaw Super Late Model standouts are also entered in this template Super Late Model event. Tyler Roahrig is a four-time Kalamazoo Klash winner in the Outlaw Super and finished seventh in last year’s Money in the Bank.
Terry Senneker Jr. is the other Outlaw Super standout entered in this race. Senneker has five Kalamazoo Klash victories and much like Roahrig, he also has one top-10 finish in the Money in the Bank, a 10th-place run in 2018. Senneker has a win at Berlin already this season, as well. He won the Super Late Model feature on May 7, which was a qualifying race for the Money in the Bank. That win gives Senneker a guaranteed starting spot in the Money in the Bank on June 8.
The Money in the Bank 150 pays at least $10,000 to the race winner, with the potential for that payout to go even higher with lap sponsorships.
The field will be set by a combination of time trials and a qualifying race. The fastest 24 qualifiers will transfer directly into the starting lineup. The top four finishers in the qualifying race will also transfer into the starting lineup for the main event. The final two starting positions will be awarded to the two qualifying race winners from May 7 and this upcoming Saturday, May 28, should they need those provisionals.
The feature is 150 laps, with competition cautions scheduled after 40 consecutive green flag laps are completed.
The Money in the Bank 150 at Berlin Raceway on June 8 will be broadcast live on FloRacing, as is every NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series event at Berlin Raceway.
