Slinger, Wis., June 29—For the second consecutive week, David Prunty was in victory lane after finding himself in the right place at the right time when the leaders tangled late in the Keith’s Marina 85 Sunday night at the Slinger Super Speedway. Prunty inherited the top spot on lap 69 after an intense battle for the lead between Mike Strupp and Dennis Prunty ended with Dennis Prunty skidding through the infield grass and when racing resumed, the defending track champion held off a hard charging Collin Bamke for the win.
Mike Meyerhofer grabbed the lead
at the drop of the green flag over Bamke, Dan Jung, and Dennis Prunty. A
spin by Mike Egan in turn one produced the first caution flag on lap 15
and on the restart, Bamke worked the outside lane to snag the lead on lap
17. Dennis Prunty and Jeremy Lepak also worked the high line around Jung
to take over the third and fourth spots respectively while Dale Prunty,
Strupp, David Prunty, and Lowell Bennett all closed in. Jung looped his
machine around in turn one on lap 42 to bring out the second yellow flag
of the race with Bamke continuing to lead over Meyerhofer. As racing
resumed, Dennis Prunty went to work on Meyerhofer for second place, taking
the position on lap 48 as Dale Prunty, Lepak, and Strupp all jockeyed for
position behind them. The aggressive battles among the lead cars resulted
in an accordion-like effect rippling through the field which claimed Lepak
when his car spun in turn four on lap 57 after contact with Lowell
Bennett. Shortly after the restart, Dennis Prunty began to challenge
Bamke for the lead using the outside lane while Strupp and David Prunty
also began to march forward in the low line. Dennis Prunty swept by Bamke
for the lead on lap 59 and a few laps later, Strupp accomplished the same
feat, passing Bamke for second place with David Prunty close behind.
Strupp began to catch Dennis Prunty while David Prunty worked his way by
Bamke and into third by lap 65. By lap 69, Strupp was on Dennis Prunty’s
bumper and after making several attempts to pass on the outside, eased to
the inside exiting turn two. With neither driver giving an inch down the
backstretch, contact between the two sent Prunty sliding through the grass
to bring out the caution flag. Both drivers were sent to the pits
following some extracurricular activities during the caution period as
David Prunty inherited the lead over Bamke, Dale Prunty, and Meyerhofer.
Prunty had his car hooked up over the final laps and was able to hold off
Bamke for the victory. Dale Prunty finished third while Meyerhofer turned
in his best performance of the season with a fourth place finish. Lepak
rebounded from his earlier spin to finish fifth. |
