Dennis Prunty Super Late Model Feature Winner (Slinger Super Speedway PR Photo)by Gregg Paul
Dennis Prunty has made the outside lane work for him at the Slinger Super Speedway in the past. He admits to liking the outside lane, yet would pick the inside lane if given the choice. Two weeks ago at the Slinger Nationals, he was forced to take the outside lane despite thinking he should have had a choice. As much as he likes the outside, the outcome wasn’t to liking, as he spun his tires on a late race restart and had to settle for second.
This time he was forced to the outside lane again, and he made the most of it by passing Lowell Bennett on lap 40 and holding on to capture his fifth feature win of the year in the Harley Davidson 60. The pass for the lead was set up as Conrad Morgan tried to make it three wide coming off of turn four, and Prunty holding his line and winning the drag race into turn one.
“That was pretty crazy and I didn’t even know we were three wide, thanks for telling me Spotter, Holy Crap” said a surprised Prunty in Victory Lane. “The outside lane was working for me in one and two and was a little tough for me getting through 3 and 4, but you know we ran hard and we ran clean and it was a good race.”
A good race that started off with Josh Wallace and Fred Winn sharing the front row. The drop of the green flag saw Wallace get off to the early lead with Winn settling for second. Meanwhile Lowell Bennett and Conrad Morgan ran side by side for third and fourth.
The race’s first caution would fly on lap 3 as Steve Apel appeared to come down on Brad Keith before clearing him and the contact caused both cars to spin in turn three. Collin Bamke was also involved and all three cars suffered damage with Keith being the only one unable to continue.
