Absolutely the scoring was amuck from the word go that night. :thumbsdown: I can remember thinking to myself that night I was glad the Focus portion of the event (which was why I was in attendance) went without any glitches :thumb: because the Sprint portion or at least the scoring end of it was very very poor to say the least.

Poor Bill Carey had em lined up a mile long wanting a piece of his a## that night.

Now this hole thing is getting out of control...Kevin does not deserve this...there is only one bomber that would run good for him...right shortbus?:)

There is nothing to defend Sammy about. He is one of the greatest drivers to ever buckle in, winged or nonwing. Sorry, but that is a fact. Matter of fact, I got to see him go to Knoxville in one of Jeff Walker's rides a few years ago, after being out of a nonwing sprint for longer than most of the current drivers there had even been alive and he TOOK THEM TO SCHOOL. Sorry about their luck... I was also there for all four of his Chili Bowl victories, you should have seen that, only getting in a midget once a year and once again, taking the best of the best nonwing drivers to school. Nothing to defend there, that is pure talent bud.

Kevin was "cut from the same cloth". Has he been out of control at times? Sure, but I have seen some veterans pull some pretty stupid moves too, some more than just a couple of times. So quit hating the kid because he has driven a winged car.

BTW, I've been watching sprints for over 40 years. If I were to keep a tally, nonwings would outnumber wings by 2 to 1.

I gather that Andy Martin would doubt that the above statement applies to Sammy's 2007 Chili Bowl performance :rolling::kookoo2::thumbsdown:

I was there too and it was not much of a race. Sammy started from the front and won a hard, slick, slow, little passing piss poor sprint car show. I don't think his students learned a whole lot.:thumbsdown:

Re: Kevin Swindel
 

Here is my take, I actually was a casual fan of Kevin's his aggressive style was exciting to me, I heard about how he was on top of another car and stayed in the gas and all that. I wasn't there I didn't see so I can't be sure what happened, BUT I was at what I think was the MSCS race (Ballou Won) at L'burg.

Sitting there happily in my Mopar shirt watching the Kahne cars running decent and I was content.

Until the end of the race when they interview this little "punk" and he badmouths, what was a good run by Ballou on the front stretch in front of all in attendance and proceeds to make himself and the team look like a bunch of cry baby losers. Which was just flat out embarrassing, and if he wasn't he should have been. I threw my new mopar shirt in the trash on the way out and just couldn't believe what I saw and heard. PATHETIC!

I can't believe anyone would stand there that night and say, "Way to go!, I'm glad I'm a Kevin Swindell fan"

All the talent in the world means absolutely nothing, when he climbs out and speaks like a horses a**
