Quotes Sammy Swindell
“I had my son and Larry Smith Jr.
here with me tonight, and they’re just 15
and 16 years old, and they were my
crew, along with my wife and a couple of
friends from here in Pennsylvania.
These guys have been working really hard all
week—they’ve been wearing me out. We
put this new car together, and it’s
worked great. We’ve had a really
fast car all year long, and we should have won a
couple more races, but we’ve had
some little things go wrong that shouldn’t
go wrong, but we’ve been fast pretty
much everywhere we go. I had a little
better line than Steve (Kinser) did,
but my car was just a little tight at the
beginning. I knew it would get
better as the race went on—I just had to wait for
the right time. I looked at the top
in 3&4, and that’s usually the place to be
here, and I was able to get in and
then get to (Steve’s) inside. This
track’s been really good to me. I’ve
won a lot of races, and when I haven’t, I’ve
usually run top three. This is
definitely a driver’s track. The turns are a
little bit different at each end,
and the drivers that know how to run a car can
make a difference here. Don Martin
was one of the best promoters I’ve ever
raced for—he always had a smile for
you and shook your hand, and always did
things the right way.”
