Salem, IN (December 15, 2008) – The CRA Super Series will return to Berlin Raceway located in Marne, Michigan for an event again in 2009. Boyne Machine's Mike Blackmer recently took over as the promoter of Berlin Raceway after numerous seasons of being a car owner and sponsor at that illustrious racing facility. The CRA Super Series had been a part of the Boyne At Berlin event the past two seasons, in 2009 the series event will be held on Saturday, August 8^th. Blackmer has stated the event will be a more than a regular series event with more details to be announced in the near future. It will be the series eighth event at the challenging half-mile track.

"We are really excited to be back at Berlin Raceway in 2009," remarked Glenn Luckett, CRA Super Series Director. "We greatly appreciate Mike Blackmer for providing great events the past two season’s, we look forward to working with him again in his new capacity as the owner of Berlin Raceway. We always have a great event at Berlin, there is a ton of local talent in the area that always comes out for our events there!"

A familiar name was in the winner's circle at this past seasons Boyne at Berlin 125, but it was not Fred Campbell a three-time CRA Super Series winner at Berlin Raceway. This time it was his son Brian Campbell who was a very popular winner in front of his home track fans collecting the $10,000 first place payoff for owner Mike Blackmer. Campbell ran out in front of the crowd of cars that he navigated carefully to take the lead on the 95th lap over Johnny VanDoorn and raced on to get the win. Scott Hantz finished second, Robbie Pyle third, Chris Anthony fourth and Andy Ponstein fifth.

With the win Campbell sent the Boyne Machine Racing Team off with a bang, ending a long run as a very successful team. Team owner Mike Blackmer decided to sell all his racing operations after finalizing his deal to take over at Berlin Raceway. Local businessman Mike Pursley purchased the entire template racecar team owned by Blackmer and driven by Brian Campbell in the ASA Late Model Series and CRA Super Series with plans to keep Campbell racing again in 2009.
