September 2, 2000; Marshfield, WI - The Coca-Cola, Miller Season Championship was threatened with dreary weather. We were unable to hold qualifying, so the drivers were lined-up by average time. Judd Brandl won the Super Late Model Points by two points over Mark Mackesy. Cale Laessig won the Super Stock Points, and the 1-Man Cruiser points end next Saturday.

He won the battle!  Mark Eswein (#71) has been making regular appearances of late at Marshfield Super Speedway as he prepares for some big season ending events.  Tonight Eswein was able to add another victory to his credit on the half-mile paved oval.

Bob Kubisiak led the first three laps of the Super Late Model feature. Rick Grunden then passed him for the lead. Kubisiak ran behind Grunden for a few laps until Mark Mackesy grabbed second.
