Campbell victorious at maiden Belleville High Banks 305 Nationals voyage!

Jeremy Campbell and the Ojar Peters team traveled to Belleville Highbanks this weekend for their first attempt at taming the historic half mile with the 305 #51 Sprint Car. Campbell has now competed at the wicked fast track with the NCRA 410 Sprint Car series, the Malvern Bank 360 series (and NCRA 360 Series), and mostly recently with the URSS 305 series. 

Friday the team started the weekend off strong, 2nd fast in qualifying, only a fraction off the new track record set by Luke Cranston. Finding clean air was key as usual during the main event, with Campbell and Stu Snyder chasing leader John Carney. Campbell finished the evening 3rd. 

Saturday Campbell once again rose to the top of the field, claiming quick time in qualifying with the 45 car field, then moving from 4th to 2nd heat race action. Starting on the pole in the main event, Campbell was unable to get to the top by turn 1, and spent the race tracking leader Kyle Jones as the top cars set a blistering pace around the outside for the 30 lap feature. 

Jones and the 4th place finisher would later fail to make weight requirements, with Campbell crowned Champion of the 6th Annual 305 Belleville Nationals, followed by John Carney and Luke Cranston. 

“Racing all three sprint motors here at Belleville, the only main difference is the take off speed.” Campbell said. “When you are all wound up on the wall, it’s still a bad fast track to race on.” 

The Jeremy Campbell Motorsports team extends a special thanks to Ojar and Cathy Peters for the opportunity to race with them this season! 

Up next for JCM is a return to 81 Speedway August 19th with the URSS.
