Sammy Swindell Sweeps Night #1 of the Jackson Nationals!
by Bill Wright
Knoxville, IA, September 2, 2015 – Sammy Swindell swept night #1 of the 37th Annual Jackson Nationals at the Jackson Speedway in Minnesota Friday night. The win assured him of a spot in the $25,000 to win Jackson Nationals finale, Saturday night, September 5. The Germantown, Tennessee driver led every lap and survived a late scrap with Brian Brown to secure the win. He also set a new one-lap track record in qualifying at 15.491 seconds, breaking Sam Hafertepe Jr.’s four year old mark of 15.601.
Swindell shot from his starting spot outside row two to hit the high side and edge the pole-sitter, Brown, for the early lead. With three laps down, the first caution of the race came out for Tasker Phillips, who spun and collected Paige Polyak. The restart saw Swindell leading Bronw, Ian Madsen, Lynton Jeffrey and Bryan Clauson.
Brown stayed with the leader after the restart, hitting the high side of one and two, while Swindell used the low groove. While the pair battled up front, Craig Dollansky took fifth from Clauson. Danny Lasoski began a charge at that point, outing both Clauson and Dollansky for a top five spot.
Swindell moved through traffic with ease, and opened up a half straightaway lead before Mark Dobmeier hopped the turn one cushion and took a ground pounder after some serious airtime. He would walk away. Brown hit the middle of turns one and two on the restart and edged in front of Swindell coming off turn two. The two cars contacted, and Brown bobbled.
Madsen took a shot at both of the leaders in turn three, but Brown regained second and followed Swindell to the stripe. Behind Swindell, Brown and Madsen, were Lasoski and Jeffrey. Dollansky, Clauson, Terry McCarl, Travis Whitney and KSE hard-charger, Tim Kaeding rounded out the top ten.
“We got together at the end,” said Swindell of his contact with Brown. “It wasn’t all my fault, and it wasn’t all his fault, but it happened. That’s the way it goes. This is an awesome car to drive. We didn’t have to do too much to it all night. Awesome things are going to happen with Big Game Treestands back on board.”
“It was a good run for us,” said Brown. “We’ve been struggling a little bit this year. To get up there and run with Sammy and contend for the win was good. 25 laps tomorrow…we’re going to come and give it our best! We were pretty decent, we just weren’t good enough. Like he said, it probably wasn’t all his fault, or my fault. It was two guys going for the win.”
“We’re really happy to get a podium finish here,” said Madsen. “Hopefully, tomorrow night, we can do a couple spots better.”
The top twelve in points were locked into Saturday night’s main event. Drivers earned points in qualifying, heats and the feature events. The top twelve will accumulate points again Saturday to determine where they will start in the first six rows.
Top Twelve in Points from Friday…

If Sammy handled every situation like that he probably wouldn't be considered such an a$$. That's probably the most blame he's ever accepted for contact with another driver in his 40 years and this one honestly wasn't as much his fault as Brown's rear end sliding out off the corner.
Is it possible Kevin's situation has softened the man or given him perspective? Doubtful, but I find his interview comments refreshingly classy.

LOL dude5x. Wondered how long till the first Sammy hater troll chimed in. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Funny, Brown had no problem with it and they both said it was just racing for the win yet you have a problem with it. Hmmm, why??? Because you are the typical hater with nothing to add to a conversation about Sammy winning yet again. I shouldn't be feeding the troll but I will just this one time. Go away hater. #STILLWINNING

Actually was sitting in the stands last night at Jackson. Sammy may not be what he was, but he sure looked like he was last night. From qualifying a new track record, to winning his heat from 6th and the A Main from 4th he was as smooth as silk....taking in the contact with Brown????.....there will be judgement from both sides. Haters are going to slam Sammy.....others know what happens in racing....Brian initially was upset, but a cooler head prevailed....after all, he was in similar shoes some years back at the Nationals when he and Danny Lasoki made contact. It happens. I am happy to see Sammy back in a ride that can compete with the best, because he still can, and I think he will show that. Last night's field was not a group of slouches!
