Grand Rapids, Michigan (July 31, 2013) – KBR Development Driver, Brian Campbell and
Car Owner, Mike Bursley made the trip to Lucas Oil Raceway located West of
Indianapolis in Clermont, Indiana on July 26th for the Night of the Stars Twin 100s.
Campbell competed in the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS portion of the
night while Bursley made his first start of the 2013 racing season in the JEGS/CRA All-
Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance portion of the night.
The night started off as best as it possible could for Bursley as he made the most of his
2013 debut by sweeping the entire night. Both Practice Sessions, the Fast Qualifier
Award and then in his first start since finishing second to eventual series champion,
Daniel Hemric at the Circle City oval last September 2012 in the Fall Brawl, Bursley took
the lead from race long leader, Chad Finley on lap 65 and proceeded to walk away with
his second career JEGS/CRA Win in three starts.
"I should come out of 'retirement' more often," Laughed the Holland, Michigan resident.
"This entire KBR Development Team did such a great job. All I had to do was drive the car
and man it was flawless from the moment we unloaded it off the trailer. It certainly helps
having guys like Fred Campbell, Brian Campbell, Crew Chief Henry Rosendall, everyone.
This team is top-notch. I just can't say enough about them." He added.
"This is such a good car, especially here. When we ran it last September, it was fast then too and Brian (Campbell) has won here a bunch and the set-up on this thing is about perfect," Bursley continued. "We're so busy at the track (Berlin Raceway) but when there's a chance to get back in the seat, I'll definitely go out and run. It helps though having one of the best teams in motorsports that's for sure." He ended. Bursley pick up the Boyne Machine Company Fast Qualifier Award earlier in the afternoon over the 29-car field with a 22.164 lap which equals out to 111.424mph.
As for Campbell, he qualified 15th within the impressive 33-car ARCA/CRA Super Series field and steadily worked his way towards the front before coming home with the final podium position in third. "We started too far back and by the time we got up towards the front I used up the car," The 33-year-old from Wyoming, Michigan said after climbing out of his machine. "It was a real good night for Team KBR though, (Car Owner) Mike (Bursley) won the JEGS/CRA (All-Stars Tour) race and we got a third in this one. Real happy for this entire team." He added.
While Bursley goes back to his Promotional duties at Berlin Raceway, Campbell will be on the other side of the fence and back behind the wheel of the familiar #20 KBR Development Ford this Saturday, August 3rd on Duck Dynasty Night at the track as the ARCA/CRA Super Series comes back for the rescheduled Tri-State Car Collector Appraising 125 Presented by T.A.A.G. Incorporated.
"We're looking forward to heading back home to Berlin and having a good run. Should be a huge night and probably one of the biggest crowds of the season to race in front of with the Duck Dynasty guys being there," Campbell continued. "We're really looking forward to a great run to keep the momentum going. I think we're all on the right track now, no pun intended, and hopefully we can give all the guys on KBR there second win of the season." He ended.
