Clarksdale, Mississippi (05/21/13) – Ross Camponovo has had a career season so far in 2013, and on Saturday night at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) he achieved another first as he powered his #18 Camponovo Farms/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/RPM Racing Engine Super Late Model to the biggest win of his young career.
One week after scoring his first win of the season in the Crate Late Model class at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) Ross Camponovo raced to the biggest Super Late Model win of his career with a $2,500 triumph in Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) action at the 1/4 mile oval.
Twenty-three entries were on hand for the MSCCS event, and after setting fast time in his group in qualifications Camponovo earned a spot in the pole-sitter's dash. He stormed to the dash win to earn the pole for the feature with Bub McCool starting to his outside. The feature started on a sour note for Ross though as he jumped the initial start, which pushed him back to the third starting spot. Despite being moved back a row he quickly worked his way to the lead on the second lap, and fought off several advances from McCool to register his first Super Late Model win of the 2013 campaign and the biggest of his career. McCool, Doug Showah, Rick Rickman, and Ashley Newman rounded out the top five finishers.
"We've been close to winning one of these special events, but something crazy always seems to happen late in the race or I just make a mistake. Tonight that didn't happen," an elated Camponovo commented. "I have to thank my crew and all of my sponsors for everything they do for me."

Ross will carry his momentum into this Saturday's $2,500-to-win program at Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi), which will be sanctioned by the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS).
