The NASCAR drivers stole the headlines but Brian Campbell stole the pole for the Money in the Bank 150 on Monday afternoon at Berlin Raceway.
The 2010 CRA championship runner-up posted a 15.839 second lap around the unique shaped half-mile which was good enough to hold off Kyle Busch’s 15.876 second lap. Carson Hocevar, Erik Jones and Bubba Pollard completed the top-5.
The session was a 20 minute group format that allowed three cars on the track at the same time. Cars were allowed to hit the track on their own wim. They also had the chance to post multiple attempts.
Cambell drew a seven for the invert which places Johnny VanDoorn and Tate Fogleman on the front row for the start.
The event will pay $20,000 to the winner and has drawn praise from drivers across the county for promoting a big-money event that takes place over just a single day.
The Money in the Bank will be 150 laps and caution laps will only count up to Lap 100. To offset lengthy green flag runs, a competition caution will be thrown after 50 consecutive green flag laps.
The race will be contested under the CRA Super Series technical specifications even though it is not a tour race. It is a six-tire event with drivers racing on their qualifying set with two more tires available to be taken during the race itself.
A pay-per-view of the event can still be purchased from Speed 51 TV for $19.99. You can watch the race here.
