I’m just really excited and blessed to get the opportunity to go out and run with these guys. Hopefully I can give them the finish they deserve!”

“I am excited to be racing at such a historic track,” said Campbell. “I’ve seen quite a bit of good racing here on TV and I can’t wait to experience it myself. I spent several hours on the simulator in preparation for this weekend. The team gave me a good car at Caraway and I’m positive they will do it again this weekend. As long as I clean up some mistakes I made in the last race, I am confident we’ll have positive results this weekend at Hickory.”

Fast Facts: This is Campbell’s second race with Rev as well, along with his first time at Hickory Motor Speedway. 

The team has been busy preparing for Hickory and excitement has been building throughout the shop. “Historic” is how both Justin and Paige described their upcoming races at Hickory Motor Speedway. John Carroll, Director of Late Model Programming, will oversee the Twin 40 features for the drivers. 

“We have been in the process of updating the entire Late Model program over this past winter from top to bottom,” said John Carroll. “It’s been a long process but we feel very prepared. Of course, there will be new challenges because we have several new drivers due to our more senior drivers moving on, however this is how the program is designed.” 

Both drivers practiced on Wednesday, at Hickory, in preparation of the upcoming weekend events.  “We were very pleased at the end of our practice day. We believe with this field full of champions, a pair of top 10s would be a successful day, but ultimately, always going for the win,”  said Carroll.

Drivers will start the race day with two practice sessions, followed by qualifying at 4:10 pm and racing activities set for 6:00 pm. Follow the action on FloRacing.
