Johnson Jr. is 6 - 0 against Campbell in prior events.

Wild Race!

They leave within 0.001 of each other and Johnson's Make-A-Wish FC jumps out in front and starts to pull ahead. The engine goes BANG big time at around the 330 lights and suffers major body damage. Most of the pieces start together and he fights the car to a stop. Somehow one of the rear slicks comes off the car and paces him to a stop after the finish line. Tommy Johnson Jr. was charged with an oildown, #1 for the season.That will cost 5 points and $1K.

Campbell looked to have an easy win, but his Charger started a steady move toward the center line and nailed the 1000 foot reflectors. His 4.097 ET and Johnson's times are both DQ'ed.

Jim Campbell's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.018), 330 ft(-0.016), 660ft(0.443). MOV: 0.0064 seconds (approximately 3 feet).

12:00 p.m. Lots of Stuff to clean up. It's reported that Johnson's team is already pulling the backup car out of the trailer.
