Welcome to the third edition of Caleb’s Corner — your inside track to everything happening in the world of Caleb Campbell Racing. This weekend brings the final race of the season, Caleb is racing in Leeds, Alabama at the Barber Motorsports Park. Here's everything you need to know before the green flag drops.
Q: This weekend marks the final race of your rookie season. How are you feeling heading into it, and what would a strong finish mean to you?
A: I’d love to have a solid finish at the final race in Alabama. We’re going to work hard so that it all comes together for a strong result. I’m really looking forward to it.
Q: Barber Motorsports Park is known for its technical layout. What’s your approach, and how does it compare to other tracks? Have you spent much time on the sim?
A: Yes, I’ve done some sim work, and I’m looking forward to it. Barber’s more of a technical track, which I like because it relies more on the driver than the car and so I’m excited for that challenge. It’s known for its elevation changes and I love that roller coaster feeling.
Q: Last weekend’s race ended with an unfortunate collision. How are you feeling going into this one, 100% physically and mentally?
A: Yes, 100% ready both physically and mentally. I’m looking forward to showing what I can do because not everyone got to see that last race. I had an unfortunate incident on the formation lap and was very disappointed in the result. I want to prove myself, show everyone I’m really fast, and be up there with the top guys.
Q: Barber can be unpredictable with the weather and changing track conditions. How much does adaptability play into your race strategy?
A: Adaptability plays a lot into my race strategy. The team’s got me covered for any conditions, from rain to heat, whatever might come our way. They can adjust the tire pressures, car setup and little details like that to keep us competitive as the track evolves.
Q: How does your mindset change going into the final race? Is it more about getting a result or just finishing strong?
A: I’d like to wrap up the year on a high note. I want to push the car and show everyone that I’ve been fast all year. I’d love to leave a bit of a mark so it’d be nice to end on something memorable.
Q: Now that you’ve got nearly a full season under your belt, is there a specific moment or race that stands out as a turning point?
A: Yes, while my win at Road America earlier this year gave me a lot of confidence, I’d say Mid-Ohio was where I really showed my speed. I set the track record during that race, and ever since, I’ve been one of the fastest guys. The results unfortunately haven’t always reflected that, but I’ve got the pace, and I’m proud of that.
Q: The off-season’s right around the corner, what are your plans once the checkered flag drops at Barber?
A: once the checkered flag drops I’ll be straight into looking for sponsorship for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. I’d like to do some public speaking, and hopefully some more community events to build more awareness and exposure. That’s a big focus for me this off-season.
Q: Can you give us a glimpse into your off-season training , physically and mentally? Any areas you want to level up for next year?
A: The mental training is just as important as the physical. I’d like to keep developing that area. I’d like to do some cognitive training at ReactForge in Toronto. Physically, I’ll be in the gym a lot, staying fit and ready for whatever car I’m driving next year and I’ll also be doing a lot of sim-related work to stay ready.
Q: Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans and sponsors as your rookie season wraps up?
A: First and foremost, a huge thank you to my parents for all their support this season. I couldn’t have done it without them.
To my fans and sponsors, I’d like to say a big thank you for all the support I’ve received this year. I read every comment on social media and the support is a big boost for me, it really means a lot. Also,a big thanks to Kids Help Phone for always encouraging me on the live feeds, and to everyone that has reached out to support me. I really appreciate it all.
Finally, I wouldn’t be where I am without my team. My team owner Leo Coleman of LC Racing has been by my side for many years and his insight and coaching has really brought me up to speed fast. Patrick Woods-Toth has been instrumental as my driver coach and I’ve appreciated having him work with me this year. Also, my mechanic Fernando is a work horse! Thank you for all your hard work Fernando. Day in and day out he has always made sure my car is ready to go.
Q: After such an eventful rookie season, what’s something you’re most proud of, on or off the track?
A: I think I’ve really put myself out there this year. I’ve been more active in public and meeting fans and it’s been incredible. A young girl even made a Lego F1 car of me, which was so cool. Seeing that kind of support is just amazing.
Q: What part of the off-season are you most looking forward to?
A: Just taking a bit of a break from the track, being able to relax, spend some time on the ice. I’m looking forward to having a little reset before getting back to work.
Q: Finally, if you could sum up your rookie season in one word or phrase, what would it be, and why?
A: I would sum it up as “a learning experience.” I learned a lot this year; how to be more assertive on track, how to communicate better with my team, and how to handle myself in public. I was always progressing. The results might not have always reflected everything we wanted, my pace and consistency were definitely there all season.
