 Birch Run, Michigan (Friday, May 29, 2009): The visitors from the Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Michigan Legends Series were on hand for Day I of the Michigan Spring Regionals.
Gary Joppich started on the pole, but after the start, Ben Rouster would be the one to lead the first lap. However, that lead would be short lived as Tyler Rycenga took the lead down the backstretch on lap two.
Rycenga would lead the next pair of laps before Chance Rice, the defending Series Champion, would get past to take the lead. Despite some incidents that would slow the field down, Rice would not look back, as the Charlotte, Michigan rising star in his Bowtech Signs machine won his second Feature of the season.
Rycenga and Ben Rouster held on for second and third respectively while Tony Monge was fourth and Current Points Leader, Matt Todd was fifth. Brandon Mahoney was sixth as Joppich hung around for a seventh place finish. Keera Allen was eighth, her teammate Cody Mahoney was right behind her in ninth and Dr. Ron Semlow rounded out the top 10.
There was no fast qualifier, as the series does not normally Qualify but instead they draw for starting positions in their heat races, which in turn determines the Feature starting line-up. Levi Rouster, B. Mahoney, and Todd won the Heat Races.
The Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Michigan Legends Series returns to Dixie Motor Speedway on Friday, June 26th for the Michigan Summer Regionals Day I.
