Tyler Bell (9) vs Clemente Bell in the van division be a little brotherly love in the van division as they would battle for the title on the afternoon. It would be the return of the Essex County Fair demolition derby this time though they would bring in spinning wheels to put on the show. With that thought, they would bring huge pay for the winners on the day and uniform rules that they use for all their shows around the northeast and they would every division there for the one-day show from the compact and full-size car's stock and modified along with the vans and truck divisions. It would be a smaller track in size and a lower car count show but that doesn't mean the action on the track wasn't any less as there would be so hard-hitting and twisted-up cars on a very successful show for the first time spinning wheels being at the fairgrounds. When the dust settled the winners on the day would be Anthony Provost (Compact Stock), Toby Ebersole (Compact Modified), Ben Brown Jr (Full Size), Clemente Bell (Trucks and Jon Brown in the vans.
