richard champbell 1SCOTT LOCKWOOD – Not even a two-month break could slow down Richard Campbell out of Sarasota for most of Saturday night’s action at Desoto Speedway.

 If not for a broken axle, Campbell may have swept all three events in Desoto Speedway’s Enduro-style classes. Duane Campbell made sure that things would remain in the family, capping off a night of mayhem and destruction in Desoto Speedway’s summer Kid’s Night Out.

 The Enduro cars kicked off the night with a 35-lap feature. Richard Campbell, driving a new car for the series, grabbed the lead at the standing start and took command of the race. He would dodge backmarkers – and crashed and broken down race cars – on his way to a flag-to-flag victory. Duane Campbell finished second, with Nick Draganov taking third.

The cars then took to the track for a 10-lap road course race through the track’s infield. Richard Campbell took the lead at the start and survived the rough-and-tumble affair that saw the track littered with debris for the win. Duane Campbell and Draganov were second and third.

Richard Campbell took the lead three laps into the 10-lap flag pole race, an event where cars had to maneuver around “poles” on the straightaways. Just before the halfway point the rear axle failed on Richard Campbell’s car, allowing Duane Campbell to assume the top spot and drive on to the victory. Nick Draganov finished second, and Kyle Case rounded out the

podium in third.

In other action Saturday night, Wally Smith lapped all but one bus on his way to taking the victory in the 20-lap School Bus Figure 8 feature; Gerald Overstreet outlasted Aaron Yankee to win the small car demolition derby; and Jeff Cox won the big car demolition derby.

Desoto Speedway will be closed next weekend for a drifting event and returns to racing action on July 9 with the DASS Sportsman, a 75-lap feature for the Take Aim Gun Range Street, Stocks, Pure Stocks, Mini Stocks, Modified Minis and Bombers.
