The pair earned secured starting positions for the inaugural short-track showcase by virtue of their wins during the 2012 season, which both came at Thompson International Speedway in Connecticut.
Drivers that won Whelen Modified races or captured the championship during this past season are locked in to the UNOH Battle At The Beach Modified main event. All others will have to qualifying their way into the feature through heat races.
“Right from the start when they announced last year that we were going to have this event, we were really excited,” Bonsignore said of his No. 51 M3 Technology Chevrolet team. “Definitely getting locked in to the event put the icing on the cake.
“We were really excited to go even when we thought we would have to race our way into the event, but getting locked in really finalized all of our plans and we’ve been working away to get everything ready to go down there.”
Bonsignore, the Whelen Modified Tour’s 2010 Sunoco Rookie of the Year, took the checkered flag at Thompson on Sept. 9 in the Town Fair Tire Northern 75. It was the second career tour win for the third-year driver.

“Anytime you get to race in front of the top three series – to perform in front of all of those guys – it’s pretty special,” Bonsignore said of the opportunity. “It’s going to be an exciting race, and to have the TV coverage and all of the media outlets there, it’s going to be a big deal.”
