Beckner Takes Allison Legacy Series Feature Win at the Little Rock
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Andy Cagle 910-995-2122 ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (Sept. 26, 2009) - Sometimes in racing it comes down to being in the right place at the right time. So it was for Paul Beckner Saturday afternoon at the Little Rock Speedway. Beckner was running second at the white flag of the 50-lap feature race of the Allison Legacy Series behind Timmy Hill. Hill, who had been battling brake issues over the last five laps, spun coming off of turn two while leading, giving the win to Beckner. “It’s (victory lane) not where I expected to end up at the end of the day, our car was extremely tight today but patience got us here.” said Beckner. “On that last lap, Timmy and me went down in turn two - he had been having brake trouble over the last few laps and it got away from him. We got around and kept digging and got the win.” “With about five laps to go, I broke the right front brake caliper,” said Hill. “We were able to hold them off over the last few restarts but it got away from us there at the end. It’s a shame, because we had a great car all day.” Hill finished 12th on the day. Dylan Sawyer finished second behind Beckner. Hunter Devers, Garrett Bunch and Bobby McCarthy rounded out the top-five. The Allison Legacy Series returns to the Little Rock and Rockingham Raceway Park on Nov. 14.
