Re: Kevin Swindell
I'm curious...of all the haters on here:
How many have actually met or had a conversation with Kevin Swindell? I have. He is actually a fun guy to hang out with. How many have driven a race car of any kind? I have. It's extremely difficult to master. Kevin has impressed me tremendously over the last few years. I've never seen a lap like the record-setting one he made at Tulare, CA. in WoO competition. Kevin is definitely a stand-on-the-gas shoe and seems fearless behind the wheel. Some criticize that, but take a good look at the early records of the sport's greatest...most have similar growing pains. Those we worship now all tore up a bunch of equipment finding the edge and mastering their skills. Give the guy a break...especially if you have no personal account of what your dishing out. |

Not quite..........
The kid is 19, do you know how DD was at 19? probably not. I'm sure he had his enemies back then as well. I'm sure all the biggies had their defactors back then. They just didn't have the internet to run their mouths like some do here. Like Hawker said if your going to bash somebody, at least be fair about it. The kid says something at one race that people get upset about and they let it keep digging a burr in their butts. He wasn't the first and will not be the last. Get over it.:doh: |
Re: Kevin Swindell

Kevin CAN'T grow up that way. It's a different world. Different family. Different philosophy-for sure. Kevin's laying the foundation of a career, and he is the one in control of it's destiny. Just like 'DD' years ago. Dave got into the top shelf rides because even they couldn't afford bent equipment back then. Car owners knew he took care of his stuff-and had beaten them with it. Today the money in the sport has allowed more leeway for bent stuff. The racecar doesn't have to pay for itself, or even try to anymore. That is a big difference. Having the spare car, or parts to put it back together is a huge factor in how hard Swindell runs the cars. But the money says he can-so he can. I'd like to see Swindell be successful in racing. He can put together good laps at the oddest times and run well. He'll stick around, even if he bounces around some this year or next. The fact everyone knows is that he won't be successful until he consistently competes clean and hard and finishes up front. Until then, he moves everyone else up a spot. Sorry for the ramble... |

Re: Kevin Swindell
Good post, hosstalker. Here I thought all the hatred for the Swindells' had been exhausted in an earlier thread a few weeks ago but I guess not. Kinda sad, really.

Kevin is not the first driver to go through a season like he did last year. No doubt that there is room for improvement in his skills. What amazes me is the continued bashing that he recieves. Yes he needs to demonstrate changes to his driving habits in order to recieve the desirved praises for the talent he has. He is not the first driver that ever had problems, or will he ever be the last. His return next season will hopefully demonstrate his ability and desire to improve and scucceed in this sport. I look forward to seeing him return wth renewed emphisis for a successful safe season of racing.

But since 1997 I've some some pretty good chit myself. On your trivia: I don't know the answers. But I would have to put: The PAS Oval Nationals Oskaloosa Indiana Sprintweek and The Four Crown in there somewhere........ As for Non-wing sprints in PA, we have NONE:thumbsdown:. But we do have non-wing midgets thanks to ARDC.... I've been from PA to Florida to California to Wisconsin and have no desire to go to the Chili Bowl or Knoxville. So as for next year probably not. Have fun at the Bowl :checkered: |
Re: Kevin Swindell
Yo to all !
Lots of beating up going on here so please don't get personal and nasty. If your pizzzed at somebody PM them don't dump them here. Interesting post. I think the kid can drive for sure but ends up crashed or pitting on a family show. Hopefully somebody in NASCAR finds him a seat for a while. It's the family you love to hate, just like Dallas TV show. Give Slammy some credit, the old man still has the passion enough to fight. His Kokomo deal with WIndom does make you wonder? :dologob: |
Re: Kevin Swindell
I agree with everything you said D.O., SORRY for my part:wink1:

Re: Kevin Swindell
doug is right , how many of you people on this panel have driven or own a sprint car , maybe 10 % and of that 10% you don't here them talking about his driving . Because most of the time these 810 hp. beasts are driving you not you driving them. And yes Kevin does need too calm down a little bit and get it a little more under control . Untill you have driven one don't judge !!! Because they are a hand full that want too go every were you don't them too go . No I am not a Swindell fan I am a Kinser fan and I've driven and I own one.
