Bailey's first race!

by Tammy Campbell on 04/01/13

I'm sure Bailey will want to talk about her week at Easter Jeep Safari and the Dirt Riot race but I just need to say how proud I am of both her and Wayland.  Bailey has been bugging Shannon for a while to let her race something. Well I think he is pretty proud of how she did.  Shannon and Bailey arrived in Moab, UT on Tuesday and were able to run some trails and attend some industry parties.  Charlene Bower is awesome! - she took Bailey around and introduced her to a ton people. Some knew her as Shannon's daughter but now they know her as Bailey Campbell, future racer of Campbell Racing.  The kids went out with Crawl Magazine to do a photo shoot and had a blast.  It was kind of weird to just let them go out and about on their own.  They had a blast.  Bailey was able to get a bunch of prerunning in and felt pretty comfortable in the car. On Saturday she qualified 11th out 20. Bailey and Wayland got strapped in and were ready to go. The car that started in front of her rolled on the first obstacle but thank goodness she had practiced taking an alternate line and was able nail the climb and continue on.  Finishing the 3 lower laps she headed up to do 2 upper loops. Going on her second lap she was going to make a pass and in all the dust she went to far to the left and hit the jump and hit nose first. Both kids were fine. Bailey was more upset because she wanted to finish.  I really need to Thank everyone that rushed over to make sure they were ok.  I know Loren Healy was there pulling Bailey out but in all the craziness I can't remember everyones names. Please know that I am very grateful to all of you. Hope to see you all at the next race.  Tammy
