Saturday was a full day of racing at the Rockingham Speedway with drivers making left and right hand turns as Bandolero, Legends and the Allison Legacy Series took to the infield road course at the track.

“We couldn’t have asked for better weather or better racing today,” said Rockingham Speedway President Andy Hillenburg.

In Bandolero action, Tyler Hill overcame a last lap spin in turn two while battling to maintain the lead when Austin Langenstein, who assumed the lead with the spin, himself spun coming off the banking of the speedway, to take the Young Gun main event. Langenstein righted his car to come home second. Grayson Massey outdueled Carson Ferguson to win the Bandits feature.

In Legends action, Austin Leitner held off Time HIll and Jake Morris to take the Young Lions feature win. Kyle Pierce drove his Tilley Harley Davidson-sponsored machine to victory over second-place Kinzie Ruston in Semi-Pro competition. Eddie Harwell crossed the finish line nearly seven seconds ahead of Jackie Ryan to take the Masters main event.

The Bandoleros and Legends cars return to the track with practice beginning at 10 AM Sunday. Heat races are slated to roll off at 12:30 PM with main events in each division to follow.

In Allison Legacy Series action, Justin Allison and Timmy Hill took turns stalking each other around the three-quarter mile road course for the first two-thirds of the 30-lap feature before Hill slid in front of Allison coming off the speedway banking on lap 20.

Hill then held off a hard-charging Allison to extend his series points lead with one race remaining in the 2009 season.

Allison came home second with Tyler Speer, Paul Beckner and Garrett Bunch rounding out the top-five.

Racing returns to the one-mile Rockingham Speedway at high noon on January 1, 2010 with the second running of the Polar Bear 150 Frank Kimmel Street Stock Nationals race.

Tickets are $20 for adults, with children under 12 admitted for $5 and no admission for children under three.
