On Thursday night, Jonathan won his heat race in preliminary action prior to leading the first 24 circuits in the main event before a last-lap pass by eventual winner Darrell Lanigan forced him to settle for a close runner-up performance in the $10,000 to win weekend opener. At the "Big E" on Friday evening, JD placed second in his heat race, but later grabbed the point on lap two of the 25-lap sprint and drove off from the stacked field to lay claim to the $10,000 top prize ahead of Kent Robinson, Ricky Weiss, Darrell Lanigan, and Jimmy Owens!

When Saturday rolled around at the hallowed 1/2-mile speedplant, all eyes in the pit area were solely fixated on capturing the whopping $125,000 payday in the 25th running of the 'Dirt Late Model Dream.' Jonathan streaked to a heat race triumph, which enabled him to start sixth on the grid in the 100-lap crown jewel extravaganza. The Blairsville, Georgia superstar then looked as if he had the car to beat in the 'Dirt Late Model Dream' by blasting up to second early in the distance and racing Kyle Strickler for the lead shortly after the quarter-mark of the contest. Unfortunately, contact between the two leaders on lap 28 resulted in a bent tie-rod for the #49, which ultimately caused Jonathan to retire in the twenty-third finishing position.
