Tolford, PA — (August 24, 2015) — It is isn’t very often that three entities are able to join forces when each is at the top of their game.
In 2016, this rare occurrence will become reality as CJB Motorsports is proud to announce that Mainstream Holdings and its’ Big Game Treestands brand will serve as the primary partner for the #1 machine, driven by Sammy Swindell.
“From the very beginning when my wife Jenn and I started CJB Motorsports, we had the dream to build a world class organization,” said team owner Chad Clemens. “As we welcome Tod Quiring and Mainstream Holdings into our team, I firmly believe that they will play a large role in our continued pursuit of that dream. Tod is an ardent supporter of sprint car racing and that is clear by his involvement with Danny Lasoski, Dale Blaney, the National Sprint Tour and more. He also has a very rich history with Sammy Swindell. They’ve won several major races together like the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway and the Morgan Hughes National Open at Williams Grove Speedway. Our entire program is the strongest that it has ever been between the #51 & #1 machines. Paul McMahan has proven that we’re a World of Outlaws championship contending team. Sammy has been lightening quick every time he has hit the track so far. Barry Jackson and the crew have put together some of the best cars anywhere in sprint car racing. This new partnership with Tod and Mainstream Holdings will push the bar even higher.”
“Mainstream Holdings is looking forward to partnering with CJB Motorsports for 2016,” said Quiring, owner of Mainstream Holdings. “Our plan is to market our Big Game Treestands brand through both of the CJB Motorsports teams. We have a great past history with Sammy and we are looking forward to this new partnership.”

Swindell, a native of Germantown, Tenn., is a revered legend in the sprint car ranks. After taking some time to step back, the veteran, who currently sits second on the all-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series wins list, has returned to compete in a limited capacity. In nine starts with CJB Motorsports, Swindell has five top-5’s, six top-10’s and one quick time award.
“This is honestly a dream come true type of deal for me,” said Swindell. “I don’t have any interest in running a full time deal or running my own team. I’m able to show up, drive and make this team better. At this stage in my career, that’s what I want to do. I’ve had a great relationship with Tod over the years and we know how each other likes to work. That will be nice to have as we continue on with CJB. Chad and this team have some very fast race cars. We’ve run in the top-5 pretty much every time we’ve hit the track so far this year. Barry (Jackson) and I are already talking about somethings we can try for next year. We’ve made a few small changes so far and it’s seemed to have helped a bit. Our main focus is to go out and win the big races. With what we’ve assembled for next year, I feel like we will be over prepared, which is never a bad thing.”
Barry Jackson, crew chief for the organization is equally excited to continue the partnership.
“Since Sammy has started with us, he has been extremely fast,” said Jackson, a Carlisle, Pa. native. “He brings an awful lot to the table from an experience and know-how stand point. Having him here has helped our #51 program, which was already extremely good. His professionalism is second to none and that’s something we pride ourselves on a lot here at CJB Motorsports. I really am looking forward to continuing this relationship with him and expanding it with this partnership. Tod is a great supporter of sprint car racing and it means an awful lot to us to have him associated with CJB Motorsports.”
The full slate of races that Swindell will compete in behind the wheel of #1 machine will be announced at a later date. Swindell will be in action next as the Outlaws invade Pennsylvania for the annual Morgan Hughes National Open at Williams Grove Speedway, October 1st thru the 3rd.
