Campbell Confident Despite Injury

Young Christchurch racer Scott Campbell may be in a cast at the 
moment but he is confident this will not affect his ability to 
drive in this weekend’s national final. How ever he may not 
necessarily be able to compete, as he still has to gain the 
approval of the clerk of the course.

Campbell suffered an injury to 
his right ankle three weeks before the Asset Finance National 
Championship Final but doctors are still unsure what damage has 
been done. The injury was original diagnosed as a sprain and was 
expected to heal within a week. After a week however Campbell was 
still unable to put any pressure on the ankle and was then told it 
was a sever sprain and was given a full recovery time of six to 
eight week. Despite x-rays revealing nothing, doctors are now 
suspecting the injury to be a fracture and Campbell is waiting to 
have a bone scan to confirm this.

Campbell admits that driving with a cast won’t be easy but a steady 
run during the two days of racing should be enough to secure him a 
top 3 placing in the VW Shoppe Challenger Class. This doesn’t mean 
that He will be backing off however, sitting only 10 points behind 
current leader, Troy Tufnell, Campbell is still in a good position 
to challenge for the National Challenger Class title, and He 
intends to do so.

Campbell is far from being the only South Island driver heading to 
Auckland looking to claim victory. This year there is expected to 
be the largest number of travelling drivers yet. With outright 
championship contenders Dennis Andreassend, Daniel Powell and 
current class 5 champion Ryan Densem leading the charge. Geoff 
Densem is also entered with his brand new class 1 off-roader 
purchased off Ian Foster earlier in the year. Current NZ2 Wayne 
Moriarty will be making the trip as will class 4 competitor Simon 
Smith, Class 5 competitors Bruce Rolls and Hayden Andreassend, and 
class 8 racer Brian Chang.
 
Campbell racing would like to thank all of their sponsors for their 
support over the 2008 season
