Campbell Racing and Whats Going On?

Lucas Oil Off Road Racing opened the season right here in Chandler, AZ at Firebird Raceway (Mar 16 & 17).  Rounds 1 & 2 of the Prolite class was the most exciting class to watch this weekend (for me anyway)!  Wayland (17yrs) would make his debut in the #3 Southwest Ground Control/Campbell Ent. built Prolite truck-making this his second time out in the truck.  I will admit I was a little nervous but Wayland completely amazed me. He pulled onto the track with confidence even knowing that he still has alot to learn.  On Saturday Wayland qualified 20th and was slowly moving up until he put it on his side in turn 4.  The safety crew was there immediatley (they are awesome by the way) and pulled him back over.  Unable to get it started right away they pulled him into the pits.  Our awesome crew got him strapped back in and out onto the track. He finished 15th.  Sunday Wayland qualified 19th.  Trying to work his way towards the front he came in to fast in turn 3 and spun out but never hesitated and got back after it.  Coming back around to the front stretch he went over the jump and wasn't aware another truck was having issues and was up against the wall in turn 1 and unintentionally made contact and lost a tire. Wayland quickly pulled into the pits and had it changed and returned to the track. Finishing 13th for the day.  Shannon and Wayland will be putting int he new motor this week and get it ready for rounds 3 & 4 in Las Vegas April 25-28.  Ron told him this was his test weekend and he better be ready to make it count.  Thank you to the Pit crew for working your tails off and keeping Wayland in the race!!! There were alot family and friends out this weekend who were cheering Wayland on and it was awesome. Thank You!!!   

This will be Waylands 2nd time in the Prolite truck and he's going to be racing with the big dogs.  Shannon just wanted Wayland to try out the Prolite at the Regional race a couple of weeks ago and thought wow for his first time ever being in the truck he did very well.  A great friend and a sponsors said, "Wayland do you want to race in the Lucas Series?"  By now I'm sure you know the answer. LOL!  This weekend March 16 & 17 will be rounds 1 and 2 for the series right here in Arizona at Firebird Raceway.  I won't deny that I am extremely nervous. Shannon, Nick, Ron, Wayland, Bailey and many other helpers have been really working hard to get everything ready.  Thank you Thank you to everyone!!!  Well its time to head to the track to get set up.  Friday is qualifying.  Go to the lucas site for a schedule of events.  www.lucasoiloffroad.com
