Inside Line Promotions – GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (Aug. 16, 2016) – Sammy Swindell is diving into a new form of racing this Saturday.
Swindell will make his winged midget debut on pavement at Star Speedway in Epping, N.H., where the Northeastern Midget Association is competing.
“I haven’t even been to New Hampshire before,” he said. “An opportunity came about when Tim Bertrand furnished an engine for Kevin’s car for the Chili Bowl. He saw we’d be at Lebanon Valley Speedway this weekend for a race. I’ve never run a midget on pavement with a wing and I haven’t been to the state of New Hampshire so I thought that’d be fun. That’d be something I could add to the growing résumé.
“It’s new people and new circumstances and it’s a whole different car. It’s similar, but different from what I’ve done before. That’s just a big challenge and that intrigues me to step over here and do something different.”
Swindell said his goal remains the same regardless of the type of car he races or whether it’s his first time in it.
“I’d never seen a midget in the 70s and got to go to Colorado and a guy says, ‘Why don’t you drive one?’ We wound up winning that. That’s always the goal to come in and win. Everything that I’ve done I think I’ve been competitive in.”
Swindell is also scheduled to drive a winged sprint car for CJB Motorsports this Thursday at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa., and Sunday at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, N.Y., with the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions.
