Inside Line Promotions – SEDALIA, Mo. (Aug. 24, 2015) – Sammy Swindell has his ideal situation in place for next season.
Swindell will return to the CJB Motorsports No. 1 for approximately 40-to-50 races and the team has announced that Mainstream Holdings, Inc., has been signed as the primary partner.
“It’s a great team with really good people,” Swindell said. “Jumping in the car this year we really haven’t had any problems other than the one motor problem at Knoxville. To be able to run near the front almost every time, I don’t know how you could ask for anything more.”
Swindell said the team won’t run for points with any series or tracks and is set up to tackle marquee events, where the goal is simple.
“Our goal is to go run these big races and win them,” he said. “There’s a lot we have to put together to run this team. We’ve been running both cars out of one trailer so there’s a lot of things we have to put together for next year. With Tod (Quiring) and Mainstream Holdings, Inc., coming on it’s going to make it real easy to be able to do what we need. It’s going to give us the opportunity to have new motors, a truck and trailer and everything first class to let us go race the way we need to.”
Swindell, who has garnered five top fives and six top 10s in 10 features with CJB Motorsports this season, is currently scheduled to return to action with the team Oct. 1-3 at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., for the National Open with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.
Swindell is coming off a Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour event at Missouri State Fair Speedway, where he drove for Donnie Cooper during Sunday’s High Roller Classic.
“The track was pretty hard to pass on and we were in the heat that had most of the good cars,” he said. “Plus we just didn’t start in the right lane so I got held up on the start. If I started near the front I could have held them off. That’s the downfall to this format.”
Swindell ended where he started – seventh – in a heat race, which relegated him into the B Main. He then maneuvered from 10th to a fifth-place result to earn a transfer into the back of the 25-lap main event, where he lined up on the inside of the 11th row.
“The car was good enough to be as quick as most the cars, but passing other cars was really hard,” he said. “You spend so much time trying to get by some of the cars it ate up laps. We were capable of running further up. There just wasn’t a lot to work with there.”
Swindell rallied from 21st to capture a 13th-place finish.
His plan now is to join his family in Louisville, Ky., where his son, Kevin, will spend at least the next month at a rehabilitation facility following a violent crash during the 55th annual FVP Knoxville Nationals Presented by Casey’s General Store on Aug. 13.
“My plan is to go to Louisville and be with Kevin,” he said. “He has a four week in-patient program there. The break before my next race will give me this time to be there when we need to get this part rolling for him.”
