I got inside of him and I put the car in there where it didn’t belong and at least we came through without wrecking.” Mike Egan and Scott Schoeni took the green
flag from the front row and the two swapped the lead in the opening laps
while Jon Reynolds, Brad Mueller, and Dale Prunty lined up behind them.
Dale Prunty used the inside lane to advance to third by lap 15 while Egan
eased his way ahead of Schoeni for the lead.
Dennis Prunty also had his car turning well on the inside and he also
moved forward, grabbing the fourth spot from Mueller on lap 20 as the lead
cars worked lapped traffic. The caution flag waved two laps later when
Cardell Potter slid against the turn two wall. Egan maintained the lead as
racing resumed while Dale Prunty raced into second place with Schoeni
caught on the outside as both Mueller and Dennis Prunty also charged past
him. Dale Prunty tracked
Dennis Prunty was the winner of the super late model fast dash and Lowell Bennett blistered the speedway in 11.313 seconds to nail down fast time in the division.

down Egan for the top spot, taking over the
position on lap 26. The handling on Egan’s car began to fade and both
Dennis Prunty and Mueller worked their way by into second and third place
respectively by lap 35 . Dennis Prunty began to erase Dale Prunty’s lead
as they maneuvered their way through lapped traffic with the laps winding
down. With five laps to go, Dennis was planted on Dale’s rear bumper and a
few laps later, turned under Dale exiting turn four as the two crossed the
finish line under the white flag side by side. Neither driver gained an
advantage through turns one and two as they headed into the third turn for
the final time door to door. As they exited turn four with Dale Prunty on
the outside and Dennis Prunty on the inside approaching slower cars on the
inner lane appeared to break Dennis Prunty’s momentum slightly. Dennis
Prunty placed his car between a lapped car and Dale Prunty as the brothers
took the checkered flag nearly even, three wide with the lapped machine.
The electronic scoring revealed Dale Prunty was the winner over Dennis
Prunty while Brad Mueller finished third in one of his best performances
of the season. Mike Egan turned in a strong run with a solid fourth place
finish while Steve Apel also ran a good race in finishing fifth. Matt
Kocourek crossed the finish line in sixth place ahead of Brad Dahmer and
Michael Bilderback in seventh and eighth respectively. Jon Reynolds Jr.
and Lowell Bennett rounded out the top ten finishers.
