Windom, MN — (April 2, 2015) — Just when you thought the anticipation and competition couldn’t raise another notch for the National Sprint League opener at 34 Raceway on Saturday, April 11…think again! Another Hall of Famer will be in the field in the form of Germantown, Tennessee’s Sammy Swindell!
Sammy is the second-winningest driver in World of Outlaws history, behind Steve Kinser, who will also be competing at 34 Raceway on April 11. Sammy is a former Knoxville Nationals champion, three-time King’s Royal champion and has won the Western World and Williams Grove Open, as well as just about every major sprint car race out there!
Sammy joins an already anticipated stellar field that will include the best of the current 36-member National Sprint League, as well as other top sprint car drivers from throughout the Midwest. 34 Raceway’s banked 3/8-mile oval will be the perfect test to open the inaugural season for the NSL!
34 Raceway would like to thank Roederers Pit Stop, Rich Adams at Riverview Designs and Mike & Donna Pindell for their help in Sammy’s appearance. He will be signing autographs by his t-shirt trailer at the main gate from 5:30 to 6 p.m.
Others joining Swindell and Kinser include fellow National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Danny Lasoski, Seven-time Knoxville Raceway champion, Terry McCarl, World Finals champ Brian Brown, Seven-time and defending IRA champion, Bill Balog, defending Knoxville Raceway champ, Ian Madsen, Nine-time Australian World Series Sprintcars champion, Brooke Tatnell, Two-time USAC National Sprint car and Midget champion and Indy 500 driver, Bryan Clauson, California’s Tim Kaeding, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s Dusty Zomer as some of the drivers expected to be in attendance.
McCarl, Brown and Kaeding have already won World of Outlaws events this season, and Zomer has picked off a pair of ASCS regional victories. Kinser and Lasoski both picked up wins at the “Winter Heat” event at Cocopah Speedway in Yuma, Arizona, and Lasoski also won the $6,000 NCRA opener on March 28.
Recent 410 winners at 34 Raceway include McCarl and Brown last year with the MOWA series, and Donny Schatz with the World of Outlaws. McCarl, Balog and Brown completed the top four with the Outlaws last June. Madsen and Lasoski are also winners in recent years at 34 Raceway.
