Inside Line Promotions – GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (Aug. 1, 2016) – Sammy Swindell is 4-for-4 during his Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals career.
Swindell has recorded a top-five finish during all four of his main events at the prestigious event at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and he is aiming to continue that streak during the 26th edition this weekend when he will drive for A.G. Rains.
The duo has teamed up twice with a runner-up result during their debut late last season and a win earlier this year.
“It’s been pretty good,” Swindell said. “Him and his dad have been friends (of mine) for a very long time. I’ve helped them with some of their racing stuff and they’ve helped me with a few things. We’ve been around each other for probably 30 years or more.
“It’ll be a big challenge because the tracks we’ve run on have been smaller. This will be a whole different scenario for us. I’m pretty confident. If everything lines up right we should be competitive right away. It’s always tough. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are coming into a race that’s this big with this many cars it’s going to be a challenge.”
Swindell, who placed second during his 360 Knoxville Nationals preliminary night before ending fifth during the finale last year, has competed at Knoxville Raceway nine times this season in the 410ci division. He has earned two wins and five straight top fives.
“The tire rules have been different,” he said. “This will be the first time running that car with this left rear tire. The things we’ve learned from the 410 will transfer over somewhat in that respect to this race.”
Despite the challenges of a new partnership and different rules, Swindell said the goal is to win his first career 360 Knoxville Nationals title.
“That’s the reason for doing it,” he said. “This is on a bigger stage and more of a challenge. If we do it it’ll be a big achievement.”
