	Campbell Survives to Win at Columbus Hear Brian Campbell Comment following the race. Columbus, OH (August 28, 2010) - In a rough and tumble JVM Enterprises/Nelson Kohman 125 at Columbus Motor Speedway Saturday night, Brain Campbell took the lead on the 96^th lap and got his second CRA Super Series win of 2010. Starting on the pole of the race, hometown racer Tyler Nuckles took the early lead and held on to it despite challenges from Scott Hantz and later Johnny VanDoorn. On the 96th lap VanDoorn bumped Nuckles on the front stretch sending him into the infield as they fought their way through lapped traffic. Both drivers were sent to the tail, Nuckles for spinning and VanDoorn for causing the spin. Campbell inherited the lead and held off a strong Hantz to win. Robbie Pyle finished third, Tommy St. John fourth, Jim Crabtree, Jr fifth. "We started the year strong, and in the middle it was just chaos, we are glad to be back on the right track." Campbell commented. "We did well at Toledo a couple of weeks ago, taking a brand new car out and working the bugs out of it. This car has won four races so far this year, we seem to be going in the right direction." VanDoorn took the EDCO Welding Fast Qualifier Award and then drew a five, to put Nuckles on the pole. Nuckles then took the lead, with Hantz giving chase. VanDoorn was stuck in traffic for several laps before getting up to third close behind Hantz. VanDoorn slipped under Hantz in a rough move as both drivers made contact, VanDoorn bumping and Hantz attempting to move back to the low groove, Campbell slid past Hantz also as he was stuck on the high side of the tough one third mile oval. VanDoorn then set his sights on Nuckles. Nuckles had built up a sizable lead as Hantz and VanDoorn had battled for second. VanDoorn was setting a blistering pace and catching Nuckles a little more every lap. Then on the 71^st lap the ninth of 11 cautions was caused when Jay Niewiek and Bill Browning came together. Restarting on right on Nuckles rear, VanDoorn tried passing high and low before bumping him and causing both cars to restart on the tail. Robbie Pyle finished third and earned a Hoosier Racing Tire Performance Award despite restarting at the tail on the 22^nd lap. Jason Dietsch took home the other Hoosier Racing Tire Performance Award and the Lane Automotive/ISKY Racing Cams Hardcharger Award finishing sixth after starting 17^th and restarting at the back on the 26^th lap. Pyle earned the AR Bodies "Cool Move of the Race" Award for moving through the field to his third place finish.
