📰NEWS - Sammy Swindell Set for Historic 50th Knoxville Nationals Appearance
Knoxville Raceway is proud to announce that sprint car legend Sammy Swindell will make his 50th career start at the Knoxville Nationals during the 65th running of the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's this August.
Reaching 50 career Knoxville Nationals entries as a driver is a milestone that may never be matched. The 70-year-old racing icon, a 1983 Knoxville Nationals champion and three-time World of Outlaws champion, continues to add to one of the most accomplished careers in sprint car racing history.
Swindell will pilot his signature #1 out of the Schnee-Lawson Racing stable, made possible through the support of Dan and Candy Lawson. The team is currently scheduled to compete on Wednesday, August 12, during BRANDT Professional Agriculture Qualifying Night.
Fans won't have to wait until Nationals week to see the legendary driver in action. Swindell and the Schnee-Lawson team plan to make several appearances at Knoxville Raceway leading up to the Nationals.
Additional announcements regarding the team's sponsors and special paint scheme will be released in the coming weeks.
Join us as we celebrate one of the greatest competitors in sprint car history and this remarkable achievement.
A family member I hadn’t seen in a long time told me they saw me on Fox News, which naturally led to a conversation about politics. It’s something I usually try to avoid at family gatherings.
The conversation turned to Tim Walz and Keith Ellison pardoning a convicted child rapist. My very liberal cousin, sitting across the table, was genuinely shocked and said they’re done with both of them.
I don’t think Walz and Ellison realize how badly they miscalculated on this one. The things liberal politicians will do just to try to own Trump.
Keep it up, you’re doing great.
We're saddened to hear about the loss of Hall of Famer Doug Clark. He was a prominent figure at Knoxville Raceway and Huset's Speedway, an icon in the flag stand, but more importantly, a great friend to us all.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends. 🙏
Don’t spend all your money on Monette land because Sunterra has some assets in the mix in bankruptcy protection.
Sunterra that did $6.3 billion USD in check kiting, meaning they would deposit a check into a US account from a Canadian account that didn’t actually have any money in it and at the same time move money back to the Canadian account creating an illusion of money.
Because Ray Price, the president of Sunterra, was doing it he is on the hook for $35 million USD.
