Campbell To Drivers’ Championship

Published: July 20, 2010 01:43 pm EDT

One of the most decorated drivers in the history of harness racing will attempt to add another trophy to his wall on Sunday, August 1, as Hall of Fame driver John Campbell will be in Nichols, New York participating in his first

Tioga Downs Drivers’ Championship.

Campbell is the all-time leading catch driver in earnings with more than $272 million, has more than 10,000 wins on his resume, six Hambletonian titles, and was also the youngest driver ever to be inducted in the Harness Racing Hall of Fame at the age of 35 in 1990.

Campbell will be joined by the top seven money-earning drivers as of Monday, July 26, and the leading money-winning driver at Tioga Downs.

Campbell has been invited to the event under the Sponsor's Exemption.

Purses for the Drivers’ Championship races will be increased by 20 per cent and horses that finish sixth through ninth will each receive $100 for being entered in the Drivers’ Championship.
