Slinger, WI - Lowell Bennett swept by Al Schill to take the lead just past the halfway
mark and went on to win the Miller Lite 120 Spring Opener presented by
Emily’s Restaurant Sunday afternoon at the Slinger Super Speedway. “I was
just on cruise control there at the end”, Bennett stated after pulling away
for the convincing win. “This is a great way to start out the year.” Nick
Schumacher and Tommy Pecaro led the field to the green flag with Schumacher
setting the pace during the opening laps as Pecaro, Schill, Brad Dahmer, and
Bennett raced behind him. The action started early as on lap four, Dan Jung
looped his machine into the infield exiting turn two and as the field
scattered to avoid the incident, cars became stacked up entering turn three.
The cars of Mike Meyerhofer and Fred Winn couldn't escape the gridlock and
both spun while behind them Dennis Prunty and Pete Wiedmeyer made hard
contact with the turn three concrete as Prunty rode the wall to bring out
the caution flag.
Schumacher continued to hold off Schill for the top spot
as racing resumed while further back, the field again took to side-by-side
racing as Eric Fransen, Brad Dahmer, Brad Mueller, Jeremy Lepak, and David
Prunty all looked to move up. The close racing resulted in contact within
the pack, sending Dahmer’s car sideways and as he fought for control, his
front-end slightly clipped Prunty’s machine and send it spinning into the
infield to draw another caution flag on lap 14. [The #17 of Dale Prunty was
collected in this wreck ending his night]
David Prunty was able to continue and both he and Dahmer restarted the race
at the rear of the field as Schumacher continued to lead over Schill, Pecaro,
Mike Strupp, and Fransen. Schill used the outside on the restart to get a
run on Schumacher and worked his way into the lead on lap 16 while Bennett
and Mueller advanced into the top five. Schill was able to ease away from
the field while Bennett continued his march forward, taking over second
place from Schumacher by lap 45 while Mueller and Fransen closed from fourth
and fifth. Bennett pulled to Schill’s bumper and made a brief challenge
before the caution flag waved for the scheduled break at the halfway mark
with Schill leading Bennett, Mueller, Fransen, and Schumacher. Schill
maintained the lead on the restart but was under heavy pressure from Bennett
who was working the outside groove in an effort to take command of the
event. Bennett’s work paid off on lap 63 as he swept around Schill on the
outside for the lead while Fransen remained within striking distance in
third. Behind the top three Mueller found himself in a battle with Jeremy
Lepak and David Prunty, who sliced his way through the field to run down the
top five. By the 100-lap mark, Schill began to fade in the inside groove as
Fransen, Lepak, and Prunty all worked their way around, shuffling the
veteran to fifth. Prunty continued his strong run by charging into third
place by lap 110, leaving Lepak to race with Mueller over the fourth spot.
There was no catching Bennett in the closing laps as he cruised to the win
ahead of Fransen and Prunty while Lepak and Mueller rounded out the top five
finishers. “It feels good to have a run like this,” Fransen told the crowd
following his second place result. “Yesterday we weren't sure what kind of
car we had, but today we had a pretty good one.” “I really just needed one
more caution,” Prunty claimed after his impressive third place run. “I was
just waiting for the right time. The early spin messed up the tires a little
bit, but I'm happy with this car.”
Dennis Prunty took top honors in the 30-lap late model semi-feature to
transfer into the main event along with second place finisher Jamie Wallace.
Mike Egan, Scott Schoeni, and Collin Bamke rounded out the top five
finishers. Brad Mueller was the fastest qualifier at 11.484 seconds.
