foils Prunty's chance of repeating at Slinger! May 28, 2000; Slinger, WI - Dan Beer's from Amoco waved the green flag to start the 20 car field and last weeks feature winner David Prunty (Lomira) looked to repeat in the EH Wolf and Sons Amoco Memorial Weekend Special until two late race cautions set up a heated fight between Lowell Bennett (Neenah) and Prunty. The former track champion took the victory over Prunty as they out ran Al Schill (Franklin), Donavan Morgan (Oconomowoc), and Brad Mueller (Random Lake) in the 80 lap Memorial Day Late Model Feature.

After the restart Prunty pulled to a full straight away lead and claimed the Mac Tools Half-Way Challenge while Lowell Bennett (Neenah) worked his way around Al Schill (Franklin) on lap 41 to take the second position.
