SCHERERVILLE, IN – Ty Majeski picked the opportune time to score his first career ARCA/CRA Super Series and ARCA Midwest Tour series win, not to mention the biggest win of his young career with a win in the Calypso Lemonade 150 at Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville, IN.
“We were running in conservation mode the first 75 and were thinking we were gonna go
with about 50 to go,” said Majeski. “I don’t know what happened to him (Brian Campbell), he just dropped off there. I wish we could’ve raced there until the end. I think it really would’ve been a great finish.”
Brian Campbell and Jason Weinkauf set the front row. Weinkauf took the lead on lap one and the front of field quickly settled in. Campbell had no intentions of letting Weinkauf out of his sights as the top five raced nose to tail.
The first move of the race came when James Swan was looking to the inside of Cardell Potter for sixth. He made the pass and was looking pretty strong as he set his sights on the field ahead.
Jason Weinkauf and Brian Campbell started to pull away from the rest of the field as Weinkauf continued to set the pace. However on lap 27, it looked as though Campbell was about to make his move, but before he could make it happen, the first caution came out when Brandon Watson dropped off the pace on the backstretch.
The double-file restart was set as Jason Weinkauf chose the inside followed by Majeski and Swan. Campbell chose the outside lane with Eddie Hoffman and fast qualifier, Chris Weinkauf following suit.
Jason Weinkauf led at the line, but Campbell shot to the lead in the middle of the backstretch and started to pull away. Hoffman was on the outside of Majeski and dove to the bottom of J. Weinkauf, but Weinkauf shut the door.
Nathan Haseleu was smoothly moving through the field, making the pass for sixth over Swan, as Campbell continued to set the pace putting a clear distance between himself and J Weinkauf.
On lap 42, Ali Kern spun coming out of turn two bringing out the second caution of the day. At the restart, Campbell went to the inside followed by Majeski, Haseleu. Jason Weinkauf, Eddie Hoffman and Chris Weinkauf all went to the outside.
As the green flag dropped, Campbell maintained his lead, but it got really exciting as the top seven were three wide all fighting for the next spot. Once it all cleared out, Majeski was second followed by J. Weinkauf.
Campbell once again stretched out his lead. Hoffman was shuffled back to the sixth spot. Travis Braden had made his was up to the top five and was challenging J. Weinkauf for the third spot, but Hoffman came back and was pressuring Braden.
Braden was looking to the outside of Weinkauf, but Weinkauf shut the door so Braden dove to the inside and took over the final podium position. Hoffman then tried the inside of Weinkauf but was unable to seal the deal.
Ross Kenseth was slowly making his way through the field as he and Nathan Haseleu were challenging one another for seventh. Positions fourth through eighth were side-by-side.
As the half-way break approached, Campbell appeared to be on a Monday drive.
When the race restarted for the second half, Campbell decided to go to the outside leaving the inside starting spot open for Majeski. The two battled side-by-side for several laps, with Campbell having a slight advantage every time they crossed the line.
Campbell finally secured the lead and once again began to pull away a little bit. Majeski fell into second, followed by Hoffman, and Chris Weinkauf.
Ross Kenseth, Nathan Haseleu and Jonathan Eilen put on a great show all fighting for the fifth position. In the end, it was Eilen talking the spot followed by Weinkauf and Kenseth for the time being.
While that action was taking place, Majeski took over the lead from Brian Campbell. Campbell fell off the pace and headed to the pits with a flat tire, ending any hope for what seemingly appeared to be his day.
