OK folks you have read the press release.  Like many of you we are all in shock and full of questions.  You have seen Sammy race, you have met Sammy, You don't know anything about him except what you see on TV, read in the clippings, read and belive on Social Media.  His Career and accomplishments.  Now tell me what you can say about Sammy and his racing career in one word.  I'll start with RESPECT.  He earned it

Slammin! 

As a kid I meant it as an insult. Now I mean it as respect for how hard he worked on and off track.

DETERMINED



I think DETERMINED is one of the best descriptions. That determination is what made him win and likely what made him misunderstood alot of the time.

Legend- As a kid, SAMMY WAS MY FAVORITE ALONG WITH Stevie Smith. I can remember getting excited on road trips down south everytime I would pass a TMC truck. I would count them..because Sammy was my guy. Quite a few great memories of the Slammer that will never be forgotten. And as quiet and self absorbed as some made him seem. I never was once turned away from an autograph and I always will remember how clean his hauler was. That thing was always spotless!

Harder.  He drove harder, thought harder, polished harder, cleaned harder, engineered harder, hit the cushion harder and stood on the hammer harder before everyone became equally hard.


Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3 
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

AGGRESIVE !!!

One of my favorite's is when he came out to california and race in the black car.

Slam'in, Sammy is what they called him then.

Man he would really Jam it in there.

Then there's the time he was towing around with the two #44 cars on an open car trailer.

Good time's thanks Sammy love the Fedral Express car ,Old Milwakee car too.
