Kody Swanson is the only correct answer here. Still unbelievable that no one has given him a shot.

Super happy for Chris. Thanks Brody Hayward, Lauren Albano from @NosEnergyDrink, and the Byrd family for making it happen.

Others who could do well, Buddy Kofoid the kid runs up front in everything he jumps into.

I would choose Kyle Cummins, just because I know he has past modified experience. But I believe Chris will do a great job.

That’s a great point. Didn’t Brady Short come from the modified world as well?

I honestly don't know whether he did or not.

Re: Who would you pick?
 

Yes, he use to run them regularly at Bloomington

Re: Who would you pick?
 

Kyle ran a four cylinder mod, before jumping up to sprints. Brady Short was a big winner in the UMP mods before he moved up to sprints.

Great response folks. I like how someone pointed out that Chris ain’t afraid to use the bumper. Also someone pointed out Logan Seavey success in ARCA cars on dirt. I forgot about that and that’s a point well taken. I was a bit surprised how long it took someone to mention Kody, but more than a couple eventually did. Now I see that Shane Golobik is now the teammate to Big Daddy for the Bristol cup race. I’m trying not to be negative and I wish him well, but don’t tell me he’s the best choice, especially when Mr Swanson is still without a ride as far as I know. But Kody aside, has Shane even run a Crown car? Again best wishes, but sure a head scratcher for me

Not teammates. One is driving for Rick Ware. One is driving for Live Fast. Chris has NOS backing. Shane has Matt Wood backing and is married to Matt’s daughter. The 2 things in common here are money.
