9/23/2021 – Campbell grows points lead in ASCS Sooner region after up and down weekend at Jesse Hockett Memorial

The Lucas Oil American Sprint Cars Series, along with ASCS Sooner and Warrior regions descended on Wheatland, Missouri this past weekend for the Jesse Hockett Memorial. With more than 65 sprint cars on hand, the competition was intense throughout the weekend.

Campbell started the weekend strong, finishing 2nd in his heat, and going from 4th to 1st in his qualifier. This put him on the front row for the main event, where Campbell led the first part of the main event, before falling back to 5th.

Friday’s heat race found Campbell moving from 5th to 4th place, followed by a 3rd place finish in the qualifier. Campbell had to race his way into the main event, but won the B Feature, securing a 17th place starting spot.

Driving up to 14th in the main, the combined Thursday and Friday night’s points were enough to lock the Jeremy Campbell Motorsports team into Saturday’s main event. Starting 7th, Campbell and another car tangled and Campbell spun 7 laps into the feature. Going to the back of the pack, Campbell tried to force the high line around the top on the next lap but the car bicycled and went hard into the outside wall, ending the night for the team.

“We never want to end with a junk car, but I knew if I wanted to make up some positions quickly I was going to have to take some chances, and I just caught the rut wrong” Campbell said. “We were feeling really good about three nights in a row in the main event against this competition, and we will rebuild and be back out for the next race.”

The consistent speed over the weekend was enough to stretch Campbell’s ASCS Sooner points region lead from 4 points to 120. Up next for the team is a visit to Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Oklahoma October 9th.
