NASCAR Cup Series
Analysis: Daytona 500 Embodied Next Gen Spirit
Feb 21, 2022
With $10,000 on the line, this year's Alabama 200 has drawn plenty of interest and excitement. More than 30 drivers have filed entries for the Pro Late Model showcase at Montgomery Motor Speedway.
The 2022 edition will be the 58th running of the Alabama 200, with the event's history dating back to 1960. Past winners of the event include Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Red Farmer, Neil Bonnett, Donnie Allison and Chase Elliott.
One of the very first entries filed was defending race champion Christopher Tullis. The Dacula, Georgia driver is also a two-time track champion in Montgomery Motor Speedway's Show Me the Money Pro Late Model Series, making him one of the favorites for this year's Alabama 200.
One of the most recent additions to the entry list is also one of the hottest Pro Late Model drivers to start the 2022 season, Michael Hinde. Hinde won the SpeedFest Pro Late Model feature as well as the Pro Late Model championship at the New Smyrna World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, with three wins during that event.
Joining Hinde among the latest entries is Stephen Nasse. Nasse has two runner-up finishes in Southern Super Series events at Montgomery, including last year behind Connor Okrzesik.
Of course, there will be plenty of Alabama representation, with those drivers hoping the "Hunt for the Bear" starts and ends in the Yellowhammer State. Alabama entrants include Justin Bonnett, Jim Wall, Dustin Smith, Grant Thompson, Landon DeVaughn, Jeff Dawkins, John Bolen, Jaxon Bishop, Jolynn Wilkinson, Justin South, Nick McFarland and Spencer Bragg.
There will also be plenty of championship-caliber representation from elsewhere in the country, with drivers coming from all over to chase the $10,000 prize.
