Brian Campbell defended his home turf in getting the win in Saturday night’s ARCA/CRA Super Series Battle at Berlin 251 at Berlin Raceway Marne, Michigan.

Campbell, a former regular at Berlin, held off the challenge from Senoia, Georgia’s Bubba Pollard to get the win and the $15,000 first place payoff.

“That was a lot of fun, what a great car we had tonight,” said Campbell. “The goal was to save the car for the first 200 and stay in the top five so we would be in a position to race for the win, and that plan worked to perfection tonight. It was a lot of fun to race hard with Carson (Hocevar) and Bubba (Pollard) there to start the last segment.

“I have to thank my whole team for their hard work, and all our sponsors, without their support we wouldn’t be able to race or be standing here in victory lane”

Terry Senneker used his outside front row starting position to grab the lead from pole sitter Campbell at the drop of the green flag. Senneker cruised for the first 54 laps in first place until Campbell made the pass on lap 55 to grab the lead, with Pollard in tow to take second.

The two worked their way through the field, with only one caution early in the first segment, lapping all the way up to tenth place running Steve Wallace as the laps wound down to the first break. Pollard was able to get around Campbell to take the lead as the two tried to put Wallace a lap down on lap 97. The field took the first five minute break at lap 100.

At the break the top ten cars redrew for their starting positions, Campbell drew a two, putting him on the outside front row, which he wasted no time in getting the lead again as the green flag flew for the lap 101 restart.

As clean as the first 100 laps were, the second 100 was marred by several cautions, with several restarts. Pollard used a restart to grab the lead from Campbell on lap 118, as the two raced hard side by side, but Campbell would come back to retake the lead on lap 121. Pollard fought back and retook the lead on lap 161and would pace the field until the second break at lap 200.

The top five redrew for their lap 201 starting positions. Series points leader Carson Hocevar would start on the pole, with Rapeal Lessard outside. The second row would be Pollard and Campbell with Senneker in fifth place. Things got interesting fast at the drop of the green flag, as Hocevar took the lead with Pollard right behind in second. Campbell quickly worked his way to third as he and Pollard tracked down Hocevar.

Hocevar was able to hold off the challenges of both the veteran drivers as they raced side-by-side behind him for second. Campbell was able to move low and pass Hocevar to grab the lead on lap 219, with Pollard also getting by. One more caution flew setting up a 15 lap dash to the finish. Campbell used the outside to grab the lead quickly on the restart and was able to pull away to win by just over two seconds.

The win was Campbell’s second straight ARCA/CRA Super Series win and his third overall of the season.

Pollard would finish in second for the second straight year in the event. Senneker came home in third, with Hocevar in fourth and Joe Bush in fifth.

The ARCA/CRA Super Series will return to action on Monday at Indiana’s Winchester Speedway as part of the Labor Day Weekend World Stock Car Festival.
