Campbell completes weekend sweep, takes F4 U.S. Race 3 victory at NOLA

Caleb Campbell had a perfect showing at NOLA Motorsports Park, completing the Formula 4 United States Championship sweep with a Race 3 victory on Sunday afternoon. With three wins in three races, Campbell (No. 68 Steele Auto Group/Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) leaves the season opener with the points lead and his first-ever weekend sweep.

Setting the fastest lap en route to his Race 2 win, Campbell started first for the final race. Quick all weekend, the Canadian almost immediately opened up a gap on the field. However, second-place starter Zach Fourie (No. 15 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) wasn’t willing to give up, and continued to try to chase his teammate down. Cutting the gap to just 1.5 seconds by the halfway point, Fourie couldn’t maintain Campbell’s pace during the closing minutes. The No. 68 pulled away opening up a 4.121-second gap by the time the checkered flag waved. 

With Campbell and Fourie finishing 1-2 for the third time this weekend, Gastón Irazú (No. 27 Elia Group/Baly/Canal 4/Ancap/Champagne Racing Ligier JS F422) climbed from his fifth-place starting position to take the checkered flag in third. 

“I’m so happy,” said Campbell after climbing from the car. “It’s just unbelievable. Thank you to the team [Kiwi Motorsport] and everyone who supports me. I’m so psyched; this was a great weekend. Kiwi Motorsport set up my car amazingly, and I can’t thank them enough. I’d like to thank all my sponsors—Steele Auto Group, Invictus Academy, Levante Living, Kid’s Help Phone, CAMTACC Properties. Thank you so much.”
